x^2-24x=2

Solution for x^2-24x=2 equation:

x^2-24x=2

We move all terms to the left:

x^2-24x-(2)=0

a = 1; b = -24; c = -2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -242-4·1·(-2)
Δ = 584
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{584}=\sqrt{4*146}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{146}=2\sqrt{146}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-24)-2\sqrt{146}}{2*1}=\frac{24-2\sqrt{146}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-24)+2\sqrt{146}}{2*1}=\frac{24+2\sqrt{146}}{2}
