x^2-59=8x

Solution for x^2-59=8x equation:

x^2-59=8x

We move all terms to the left:

x^2-59-(8x)=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = -59;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·(-59)
Δ = 300
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{300}=\sqrt{100*3}=\sqrt{100}*\sqrt{3}=10\sqrt{3}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-10\sqrt{3}}{2*1}=\frac{8-10\sqrt{3}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+10\sqrt{3}}{2*1}=\frac{8+10\sqrt{3}}{2}
