w^2-8w-10=10

Solution for w^2-8w-10=10 equation:

w^2-8w-10=10

We move all terms to the left:

w^2-8w-10-(10)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

w^2-8w-20=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·(-20)
Δ = 144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{144}=12$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-12}{2*1}=\frac{-4}{2}
=-2
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+12}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
