c2-4c=21

Solution for c2-4c=21 equation:

c2-4c=21

We move all terms to the left:

c2-4c-(21)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

c^2-4c-21=0

a = 1; b = -4; c = -21;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·1·(-21)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-10}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+10}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
