3m^2-16=-8m

Solution for 3m^2-16=-8m equation:

3m^2-16=-8m

We move all terms to the left:

3m^2-16-(-8m)=0

We get rid of parentheses

a = 3; b = 8; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·3·(-16)
Δ = 256
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{256}=16$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-16}{2*3}=\frac{-24}{6}
=-4
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+16}{2*3}=\frac{8}{6}
=1+1/3
