-a2+6a-8=0

Solution for -a2+6a-8=0 equation:

-a2+6a-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1a^2+6a-8=0

a = -1; b = 6; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·(-1)·(-8)
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-2}{2*-1}=\frac{-8}{-2}
=+4
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+2}{2*-1}=\frac{-4}{-2}
=+2
