a = 4; b = 24; c = +16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 242-4·4·16
Δ = 320
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{320}=\sqrt{64*5}=\sqrt{64}*\sqrt{5}=8\sqrt{5}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(24)-8\sqrt{5}}{2*4}=\frac{-24-8\sqrt{5}}{8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(24)+8\sqrt{5}}{2*4}=\frac{-24+8\sqrt{5}}{8}
