w^2-24=5w

Solution for w^2-24=5w equation:

w^2-24=5w

We move all terms to the left:

w^2-24-(5w)=0

a = 1; b = -5; c = -24;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -52-4·1·(-24)
Δ = 121
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{121}=11$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)-11}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)+11}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
