(x-2)(X=5)=18

Solution for (x-2)(X=5)=18 equation:

(x-2)(x=5)=18

We move all terms to the left:

(x-2)(x-(5))=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+x^2-5x-2x+10)=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2-5x-2x+10=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-7x+10=0

a = 1; b = -7; c = +10;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -72-4·1·10
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)-3}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)+3}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
