(X-4)(2x+18)=0

Solution for (X-4)(2x+18)=0 equation:

(X-4)(2X+18)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+2X^2+18X-8X-72)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2X^2+18X-8X-72=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2X^2+10X-72=0

a = 2; b = 10; c = -72;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·2·(-72)
Δ = 676
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{676}=26$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)-26}{2*2}=\frac{-36}{4}
=-9
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)+26}{2*2}=\frac{16}{4}
=4
