x^2-8x-884=0

Solution for x^2-8x-884=0 equation:

x^2-8x-884=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = -884;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·(-884)
Δ = 3600
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3600}=60$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-60}{2*1}=\frac{-52}{2}
=-26
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+60}{2*1}=\frac{68}{2}
=34
