2k^2-16k=10

Solution for 2k^2-16k=10 equation:

2k^2-16k=10

We move all terms to the left:

2k^2-16k-(10)=0

a = 2; b = -16; c = -10;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·2·(-10)
Δ = 336
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{336}=\sqrt{16*21}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{21}=4\sqrt{21}$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-4\sqrt{21}}{2*2}=\frac{16-4\sqrt{21}}{4}
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+4\sqrt{21}}{2*2}=\frac{16+4\sqrt{21}}{4}
