x^2+40=184

Solution for x^2+40=184 equation:

x^2+40=184

We move all terms to the left:

x^2+40-(184)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-144=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -144;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-144)
Δ = 576
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{576}=24$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-24}{2*1}=\frac{-24}{2}
=-12
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+24}{2*1}=\frac{24}{2}
=12
