p(p+2)=80

Solution for p(p+2)=80 equation:

p(p+2)=80

We move all terms to the left:

p(p+2)-(80)=0

We multiply parentheses

p^2+2p-80=0

a = 1; b = 2; c = -80;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·1·(-80)
Δ = 324
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{324}=18$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-18}{2*1}=\frac{-20}{2}
=-10
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+18}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
