X^2-8x-63=0

Solution for X^2-8x-63=0 equation:

X^2-8X-63=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = -63;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·(-63)
Δ = 316
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{316}=\sqrt{4*79}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{79}=2\sqrt{79}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-2\sqrt{79}}{2*1}=\frac{8-2\sqrt{79}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+2\sqrt{79}}{2*1}=\frac{8+2\sqrt{79}}{2}
