20-12a+a2=0

Solution for 20-12a+a2=0 equation:

20-12a+a2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-12a+20=0

a = 1; b = -12; c = +20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·1·20
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-8}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+8}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
