x(x+3)=61

Solution for x(x+3)=61 equation:

x(x+3)=61

We move all terms to the left:

x(x+3)-(61)=0

We multiply parentheses

x^2+3x-61=0

a = 1; b = 3; c = -61;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·1·(-61)
Δ = 253
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-\sqrt{253}}{2*1}=\frac{-3-\sqrt{253}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+\sqrt{253}}{2*1}=\frac{-3+\sqrt{253}}{2}
