X(x+2)=246

Solution for X(x+2)=246 equation:

X(X+2)=246

We move all terms to the left:

X(X+2)-(246)=0

We multiply parentheses

X^2+2X-246=0

a = 1; b = 2; c = -246;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·1·(-246)
Δ = 988
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{988}=\sqrt{4*247}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{247}=2\sqrt{247}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2\sqrt{247}}{2*1}=\frac{-2-2\sqrt{247}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2\sqrt{247}}{2*1}=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{247}}{2}
