X^2+8x-203=0

Solution for X^2+8x-203=0 equation:

X^2+8X-203=0

a = 1; b = 8; c = -203;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·1·(-203)
Δ = 876
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{876}=\sqrt{4*219}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{219}=2\sqrt{219}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-2\sqrt{219}}{2*1}=\frac{-8-2\sqrt{219}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+2\sqrt{219}}{2*1}=\frac{-8+2\sqrt{219}}{2}
