p(p-10)=-21

Solution for p(p-10)=-21 equation:

p(p-10)=-21

We move all terms to the left:

p(p-10)-(-21)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

p(p-10)+21=0

We multiply parentheses

p^2-10p+21=0

a = 1; b = -10; c = +21;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·1·21
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-4}{2*1}=\frac{6}{2}
=3
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+4}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
