2x^2+4x-16=46

Solution for 2x^2+4x-16=46 equation:

2x^2+4x-16=46

We move all terms to the left:

2x^2+4x-16-(46)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x^2+4x-62=0

a = 2; b = 4; c = -62;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·2·(-62)
Δ = 512
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{512}=\sqrt{256*2}=\sqrt{256}*\sqrt{2}=16\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-16\sqrt{2}}{2*2}=\frac{-4-16\sqrt{2}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+16\sqrt{2}}{2*2}=\frac{-4+16\sqrt{2}}{4}
