(x)(x+6)=72

Solution for (x)(x+6)=72 equation:

(x)(x+6)=72

We move all terms to the left:

(x)(x+6)-(72)=0

We multiply parentheses

x^2+6x-72=0

a = 1; b = 6; c = -72;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·1·(-72)
Δ = 324
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{324}=18$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-18}{2*1}=\frac{-24}{2}
=-12
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+18}{2*1}=\frac{12}{2}
=6
