u^2=7u-10

Solution for u^2=7u-10 equation:

u^2=7u-10

We move all terms to the left:

u^2-(7u-10)=0

We get rid of parentheses

u^2-7u+10=0

a = 1; b = -7; c = +10;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -72-4·1·10
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)-3}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)+3}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
