u^2+6u=7

Solution for u^2+6u=7 equation:

u^2+6u=7

We move all terms to the left:

u^2+6u-(7)=0

a = 1; b = 6; c = -7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·1·(-7)
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-8}{2*1}=\frac{-14}{2}
=-7
$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+8}{2*1}=\frac{2}{2}
=1
