8n^2-2n=15

Solution for 8n^2-2n=15 equation:

8n^2-2n=15

We move all terms to the left:

8n^2-2n-(15)=0

a = 8; b = -2; c = -15;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·8·(-15)
Δ = 484
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{484}=22$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-22}{2*8}=\frac{-20}{16}
=-1+1/4
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+22}{2*8}=\frac{24}{16}
=1+1/2
