Move right part of the equation to left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from 2x2+5x−25=13x+17 to (−13x−17)+(2x2+5x−25)=0 This equation is of the form ax2+bx+c=0 A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant The roots of the quadratic equation: x1=2aD−b x2=2a−D−b where D=b2−4ac is the discriminant. Because a=2 b=−8 c=−42 , then D=b2−4ac= (−8)2−2⋅4(−42)=400 Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots. x1=2a(−b+D) x2=2a(−b−D) or x1=7 Simplify x2=−3 Simplify
