16x=-2x^2-24

Solution for 16x=-2x^2-24 equation:

16x=-2x^2-24

We move all terms to the left:

16x-(-2x^2-24)=0

We get rid of parentheses

a = 2; b = 16; c = +24;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 162-4·2·24
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)-8}{2*2}=\frac{-24}{4}
=-6
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)+8}{2*2}=\frac{-8}{4}
=-2
