y2+3y=1

Solution for y2+3y=1 equation:

y2+3y=1

We move all terms to the left:

y2+3y-(1)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y^2+3y-1=0

a = 1; b = 3; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·1·(-1)
Δ = 13
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-\sqrt{13}}{2*1}=\frac{-3-\sqrt{13}}{2}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+\sqrt{13}}{2*1}=\frac{-3+\sqrt{13}}{2}
