x^2+x-7=17^2

Solution for x^2+x-7=17^2 equation:

x^2+x-7=17^2

We move all terms to the left:

x^2+x-7-(17^2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2+x-296=0

a = 1; b = 1; c = -296;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·1·(-296)
Δ = 1185
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{-(1)-\sqrt{1185}}{2*1}=\frac{-1-\sqrt{1185}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{1185}}{2*1}=\frac{-1+\sqrt{1185}}{2}
