y(y+1)=6-1

Solution for y(y+1)=6-1 equation:

y(y+1)=6-1

We move all terms to the left:

y(y+1)-(6-1)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y(y+1)-5=0

We multiply parentheses

y^2+y-5=0

a = 1; b = 1; c = -5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·1·(-5)
Δ = 21
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{-1-\sqrt{21}}{2}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{-1+\sqrt{21}}{2}
