k2+5k=6

Solution for k2+5k=6 equation:

k2+5k=6

We move all terms to the left:

k2+5k-(6)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

k^2+5k-6=0

a = 1; b = 5; c = -6;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·1·(-6)
Δ = 49
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{49}=7$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-7}{2*1}=\frac{-12}{2}
=-6
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+7}{2*1}=\frac{2}{2}
=1
