X2-x-56=0

Solution for X2-x-56=0 equation:

X2-X-56=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-1X-56=0

a = 1; b = -1; c = -56;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·1·(-56)
Δ = 225
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{225}=15$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-15}{2*1}=\frac{-14}{2}
=-7
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+15}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
