2x(x-2)=20
We move all terms to the left:
2x(x-2)-(20)=0
We multiply parentheses
2x^2-4x-20=0
a = 2; b = -4; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·2·(-20)
Δ = 176
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{176}=\sqrt{16*11}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{11}=4\sqrt{11}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-4\sqrt{11}}{2*2}=\frac{4-4\sqrt{11}}{4} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+4\sqrt{11}}{2*2}=\frac{4+4\sqrt{11}}{4} $
