X2+9x+18=40

Solution for X2+9x+18=40 equation:

X2+9X+18=40

We move all terms to the left:

X2+9X+18-(40)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2+9X-22=0

a = 1; b = 9; c = -22;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 92-4·1·(-22)
Δ = 169
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)-13}{2*1}=\frac{-22}{2}
=-11
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)+13}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
