x2+20x+16=0

Solution for x2+20x+16=0 equation:

x2+20x+16=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2+20x+16=0

a = 1; b = 20; c = +16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 202-4·1·16
Δ = 336
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{336}=\sqrt{16*21}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{21}=4\sqrt{21}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(20)-4\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{-20-4\sqrt{21}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(20)+4\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{-20+4\sqrt{21}}{2}
