m2-5m=1

Solution for m2-5m=1 equation:

m2-5m=1

We move all terms to the left:

m2-5m-(1)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

m^2-5m-1=0

a = 1; b = -5; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -52-4·1·(-1)
Δ = 29
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)-\sqrt{29}}{2*1}=\frac{5-\sqrt{29}}{2}
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)+\sqrt{29}}{2*1}=\frac{5+\sqrt{29}}{2}
