The solution

You have entered [src]
(x - 17)*(x - 9) = 105
$$\left(x - 17\right) \left(x - 9\right) = 105$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$\left(x - 17\right) \left(x - 9\right) = 105$$
to
$$\left(x - 17\right) \left(x - 9\right) - 105 = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(x - 17\right) \left(x - 9\right) - 105 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$x^{2} - 26 x + 48 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -26$$
$$c = 48$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-26)^2 - 4 * (1) * (48) = 484

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 24$$
$$x_{2} = 2$$
The graph
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = 2
$$x_{1} = 2$$
x2 = 24
$$x_{2} = 24$$
x2 = 24
Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
2 + 24
$$2 + 24$$
=
26
$$26$$
product
2*24
$$2 \cdot 24$$
=
48
$$48$$
48
Numerical answer [src]
x1 = 2.0
x2 = 24.0
x2 = 24.0
