8=2a^2

Solution for 8=2a^2 equation:

8=2a^2

We move all terms to the left:

8-(2a^2)=0

a = -2; b = 0; c = +8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-2)·8
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-8}{2*-2}=\frac{-8}{-4}
=+2
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+8}{2*-2}=\frac{8}{-4}
=-2
