(x-1)(x-8)+12=0

Solution for (x-1)(x-8)+12=0 equation:

(x-1)(x-8)+12=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+x^2-8x-1x+8)+12=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2-8x-1x+8+12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-9x+20=0

a = 1; b = -9; c = +20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -92-4·1·20
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)-1}{2*1}=\frac{8}{2}
=4
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)+1}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
