2x^2-8=-x^2+2x-1

Solution for 2x^2-8=-x^2+2x-1 equation:

2x^2-8=-x^2+2x-1

We move all terms to the left:

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

We get rid of parentheses

2x^2+x^2-2x+1-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x^2-2x-7=0

a = 3; b = -2; c = -7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·3·(-7)
Δ = 88
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{88}=\sqrt{4*22}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{22}=2\sqrt{22}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2\sqrt{22}}{2*3}=\frac{2-2\sqrt{22}}{6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2\sqrt{22}}{2*3}=\frac{2+2\sqrt{22}}{6}
