x^2+x-72=(x-8)

Solution for x^2+x-72=(x-8) equation:

x^2+x-72=(x-8)

We move all terms to the left:

x^2+x-72-((x-8))=0


We calculate terms in parentheses: -((x-8)), so:

(x-8)

We get rid of parentheses

x-8

Back to the equation:

-(x-8)


We get rid of parentheses

x^2+x-x+8-72=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-64=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -64;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-64)
Δ = 256
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{256}=16$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-16}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+16}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
