p.2(p+1)=16

Solution for p.2(p+1)=16 equation:

p.2(p+1)=16

We move all terms to the left:

p.2(p+1)-(16)=0

We multiply parentheses

p^2+p-16=0

a = 1; b = 1; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·1·(-16)
Δ = 65
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{65}}{2*1}=\frac{-1-\sqrt{65}}{2}
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{65}}{2*1}=\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}}{2}
