w^2-5w=50

Solution for w^2-5w=50 equation:

w^2-5w=50

We move all terms to the left:

w^2-5w-(50)=0

a = 1; b = -5; c = -50;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -52-4·1·(-50)
Δ = 225
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{225}=15$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)-15}{2*1}=\frac{-10}{2}
=-5
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)+15}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
