x2+4=4(x+16)

Solution for x2+4=4(x+16) equation:

x2+4=4(x+16)

We move all terms to the left:

x2+4-(4(x+16))=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-(4(x+16))+4=0


We calculate terms in parentheses: -(4(x+16)), so:

4(x+16)

We multiply parentheses

4x+64

Back to the equation:

-(4x+64)


We get rid of parentheses

x^2-4x-64+4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-4x-60=0

a = 1; b = -4; c = -60;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·1·(-60)
Δ = 256
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{256}=16$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-16}{2*1}=\frac{-12}{2}
=-6
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+16}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
