\bf{Hey\ there!}


\bf{Quadratic\ formula\ is:}
\bf{x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)} \ or \ you\ could\ say\ ax^2+bx+c=0


\bf{\bullet\ First: subtract\ by\ 2x\ on\ your\ sides\ that\ you're\ working\ with}


\bf{Like:x^2+20-2x=2x-2x}


\bf{We\ get:x^2-2x+20=0}


\bf{\bullet \ a=1}\\ \bf{\bullet \ b=-2}\\ \bf{\bullet \ c=20}


\bf{x=(-(-2)\pm√((-2)^2-4(1)(20)))/(2(1))


\bf{(-2)^2-4(1)(20)=-76} \\ \\ \bf{2(1)=2}


\bold{-(-2)=-1(-2))=+2}


\bf{x=(2\pm√(-76))/(2)}


\bf{Thus\ there\ is\ NO\ REAL\ SOLUTIONS}


\text{Good\ luck\ on\ your\ assignment\ and\ enjoy\ your\ day!}
