y^2+8y-35=0

Solution for y^2+8y-35=0 equation:

y^2+8y-35=0

a = 1; b = 8; c = -35;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·1·(-35)
Δ = 204
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{204}=\sqrt{4*51}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{51}=2\sqrt{51}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-2\sqrt{51}}{2*1}=\frac{-8-2\sqrt{51}}{2}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+2\sqrt{51}}{2*1}=\frac{-8+2\sqrt{51}}{2}
