x^2+18x=64

Solution for x^2+18x=64 equation:

x^2+18x=64

We move all terms to the left:

x^2+18x-(64)=0

a = 1; b = 18; c = -64;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 182-4·1·(-64)
Δ = 580
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{580}=\sqrt{4*145}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{145}=2\sqrt{145}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)-2\sqrt{145}}{2*1}=\frac{-18-2\sqrt{145}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)+2\sqrt{145}}{2*1}=\frac{-18+2\sqrt{145}}{2}
