10=a^2+8

Solution for 10=a^2+8 equation:

10=a^2+8

We move all terms to the left:

10-(a^2+8)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-a^2-8+10=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1a^2+2=0

a = -1; b = 0; c = +2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-1)·2
Δ = 8
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{4*2}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{2}=2\sqrt{2}$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{2}}{2*-1}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{-1}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{2}}{2*-1}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{-1}
