(5w-8)(2+w)=0

Solution for (5w-8)(2+w)=0 equation:

(5w-8)(2+w)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(5w-8)(w+2)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+5w^2+10w-8w-16)=0

We get rid of parentheses

5w^2+10w-8w-16=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5w^2+2w-16=0

a = 5; b = 2; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·5·(-16)
Δ = 324
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{324}=18$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-18}{2*5}=\frac{-20}{10}
=-2
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+18}{2*5}=\frac{16}{10}
=1+3/5
