a^2+16=100

Solution for a^2+16=100 equation:

a^2+16=100

We move all terms to the left:

a^2+16-(100)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-84=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -84;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-84)
Δ = 336
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{336}=\sqrt{16*21}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{21}=4\sqrt{21}$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{21}}{2}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{2}
=-2\sqrt{21}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{21}}{2}
=\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{2}
=2\sqrt{21}
