X2+3x-20=x+4

Solution for X2+3x-20=x+4 equation:

X2+3X-20=X+4

We move all terms to the left:

X2+3X-20-(X+4)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2+3X-(X+4)-20=0

We get rid of parentheses

X^2+3X-X-4-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2+2X-24=0

a = 1; b = 2; c = -24;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·1·(-24)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-10}{2*1}=\frac{-12}{2}
=-6
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+10}{2*1}=\frac{8}{2}
=4
