s+42=s2

Solution for s+42=s2 equation:

s+42=s2

We move all terms to the left:

s+42-(s2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1s^2+s+42=0

a = -1; b = 1; c = +42;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·(-1)·42
Δ = 169
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-13}{2*-1}=\frac{-14}{-2}
=+7
$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+13}{2*-1}=\frac{12}{-2}
=-6
