8y+y2+15=0

Solution for 8y+y2+15=0 equation:

8y+y2+15=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y^2+8y+15=0

a = 1; b = 8; c = +15;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·1·15
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-2}{2*1}=\frac{-10}{2}
=-5
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+2}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
