x^2+6x=26

Solution for x^2+6x=26 equation:

x^2+6x=26

We move all terms to the left:

x^2+6x-(26)=0

a = 1; b = 6; c = -26;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·1·(-26)
Δ = 140
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{140}=\sqrt{4*35}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{35}=2\sqrt{35}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-2\sqrt{35}}{2*1}=\frac{-6-2\sqrt{35}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+2\sqrt{35}}{2*1}=\frac{-6+2\sqrt{35}}{2}
