y2+12y=7

Solution for y2+12y=7 equation:

y2+12y=7

We move all terms to the left:

y2+12y-(7)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y^2+12y-7=0

a = 1; b = 12; c = -7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 122-4·1·(-7)
Δ = 172
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{172}=\sqrt{4*43}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{43}=2\sqrt{43}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(12)-2\sqrt{43}}{2*1}=\frac{-12-2\sqrt{43}}{2}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(12)+2\sqrt{43}}{2*1}=\frac{-12+2\sqrt{43}}{2}
