Solution for 4x^2-8x=-2 equation:

4x^2-8x=-2

We move all terms to the left:

4x^2-8x-(-2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

4x^2-8x+2=0

a = 4; b = -8; c = +2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·4·2
Δ = 32
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16*2}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-4\sqrt{2}}{2*4}=\frac{8-4\sqrt{2}}{8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+4\sqrt{2}}{2*4}=\frac{8+4\sqrt{2}}{8}
