u2+18=20

Solution for u2+18=20 equation:

u2+18=20

We move all terms to the left:

u2+18-(20)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

u^2-2=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-2)
Δ = 8
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{4*2}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{2}=2\sqrt{2}$
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{2}}{2*1}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{2}}{2}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}
=-\sqrt{2}
$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{2}}{2*1}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{2}}{2}
=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}
=\sqrt{2}
