v^2+2v+8=16

Solution for v^2+2v+8=16 equation:

v^2+2v+8=16

We move all terms to the left:

v^2+2v+8-(16)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

v^2+2v-8=0

a = 1; b = 2; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·1·(-8)
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-6}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+6}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
