(p+6)*p=56

Solution for (p+6)*p=56 equation:

(p+6)*p=56

We move all terms to the left:

(p+6)*p-(56)=0

We multiply parentheses

p^2+6p-56=0

a = 1; b = 6; c = -56;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·1·(-56)
Δ = 260
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{260}=\sqrt{4*65}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{65}=2\sqrt{65}$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-2\sqrt{65}}{2*1}=\frac{-6-2\sqrt{65}}{2}
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+2\sqrt{65}}{2*1}=\frac{-6+2\sqrt{65}}{2}
