Solve a^2-24d+b=0

$$a ^ { 2 } - 24 d + b = 0$$

Solve for b

$$b=24d-a^{2}$$

Solution Steps

Subtract a^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-24d+b=-a^{2}$$

Add 24d to both sides.

$$b=-a^{2}+24d$$

Solve for a (complex solution)

$$a=-\sqrt{24d-b}$$

$$a=\sqrt{24d-b}$$

Solve for a

$$a=\sqrt{24d-b}$$

$$a=-\sqrt{24d-b}\text{, }d\geq \frac{b}{24}$$
