a^2+100=196

Solution for a^2+100=196 equation:

a^2+100=196

We move all terms to the left:

a^2+100-(196)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-96=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -96;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-96)
Δ = 384
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{384}=\sqrt{64*6}=\sqrt{64}*\sqrt{6}=8\sqrt{6}$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-8\sqrt{6}}{2*1}=\frac{0-8\sqrt{6}}{2}
=-\frac{8\sqrt{6}}{2}
=-4\sqrt{6}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+8\sqrt{6}}{2*1}=\frac{0+8\sqrt{6}}{2}
=\frac{8\sqrt{6}}{2}
=4\sqrt{6}
