x^2-10x=88

Solution for x^2-10x=88 equation:

x^2-10x=88

We move all terms to the left:

x^2-10x-(88)=0

a = 1; b = -10; c = -88;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·1·(-88)
Δ = 452
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{452}=\sqrt{4*113}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{113}=2\sqrt{113}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-2\sqrt{113}}{2*1}=\frac{10-2\sqrt{113}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+2\sqrt{113}}{2*1}=\frac{10+2\sqrt{113}}{2}
