x^2+24x-8=0

Solution for x^2+24x-8=0 equation:

x^2+24x-8=0

a = 1; b = 24; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 242-4·1·(-8)
Δ = 608
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{608}=\sqrt{16*38}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{38}=4\sqrt{38}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(24)-4\sqrt{38}}{2*1}=\frac{-24-4\sqrt{38}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(24)+4\sqrt{38}}{2*1}=\frac{-24+4\sqrt{38}}{2}
