Solution for 16x^2+8x+1=25 equation:

16x^2+8x+1=25

We move all terms to the left:

16x^2+8x+1-(25)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

16x^2+8x-24=0

a = 16; b = 8; c = -24;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·16·(-24)
Δ = 1600
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1600}=40$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-40}{2*16}=\frac{-48}{32}
=-1+1/2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+40}{2*16}=\frac{32}{32}
=1
