s^2-7s+60=0

Solution for s^2-7s+60=0 equation:

Simplifying
s2 + -7s + 60 = 0

Reorder the terms:
60 + -7s + s2 = 0

Solving
60 + -7s + s2 = 0

Solving for variable 's'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-60' to each side of the equation.
60 + -7s + -60 + s2 = 0 + -60

Reorder the terms:
60 + -60 + -7s + s2 = 0 + -60

Combine like terms: 60 + -60 = 0
0 + -7s + s2 = 0 + -60
-7s + s2 = 0 + -60

Combine like terms: 0 + -60 = -60
-7s + s2 = -60

The s term is -7s.  Take half its coefficient (-3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
-7s + 12.25 + s2 = -60 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -7s + s2 = -60 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -60 + 12.25 = -47.75
12.25 + -7s + s2 = -47.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + -3.5)(s + -3.5) = -47.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
