-x^2+16x+8=0

Solution for -x^2+16x+8=0 equation:

-x^2+16x+8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x^2+16x+8=0

a = -1; b = 16; c = +8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 162-4·(-1)·8
Δ = 288
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{288}=\sqrt{144*2}=\sqrt{144}*\sqrt{2}=12\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)-12\sqrt{2}}{2*-1}=\frac{-16-12\sqrt{2}}{-2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)+12\sqrt{2}}{2*-1}=\frac{-16+12\sqrt{2}}{-2}
