(x-4)x=165

Solution for (x-4)x=165 equation:

(x-4)x=165

We move all terms to the left:

(x-4)x-(165)=0

We multiply parentheses

x^2-4x-165=0

a = 1; b = -4; c = -165;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·1·(-165)
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{-(-4)-26}{2*1}=\frac{-22}{2}
=-11
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+26}{2*1}=\frac{30}{2}
=15
