x(2x+9)=56

Solution for x(2x+9)=56 equation:

x(2x+9)=56

We move all terms to the left:

x(2x+9)-(56)=0

We multiply parentheses

2x^2+9x-56=0

a = 2; b = 9; c = -56;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 92-4·2·(-56)
Δ = 529
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{529}=23$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)-23}{2*2}=\frac{-32}{4}
=-8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)+23}{2*2}=\frac{14}{4}
=3+1/2
