Solution for x2-x-20=2x+8 equation:

x2-x-20=2x+8

We move all terms to the left:

x2-x-20-(2x+8)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-1x-(2x+8)-20=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2-1x-2x-8-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-3x-28=0

a = 1; b = -3; c = -28;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -32-4·1·(-28)
Δ = 121
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{121}=11$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)-11}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+11}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
