n(n+5)=15

Solution for n(n+5)=15 equation:

n(n+5)=15

We move all terms to the left:

n(n+5)-(15)=0

We multiply parentheses

n^2+5n-15=0

a = 1; b = 5; c = -15;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·1·(-15)
Δ = 85
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-\sqrt{85}}{2*1}=\frac{-5-\sqrt{85}}{2}
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+\sqrt{85}}{2*1}=\frac{-5+\sqrt{85}}{2}
