(7x-4)(x+8)=0

Solution for (7x-4)(x+8)=0 equation:

(7x-4)(x+8)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+7x^2+56x-4x-32)=0

We get rid of parentheses

7x^2+56x-4x-32=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

7x^2+52x-32=0

a = 7; b = 52; c = -32;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 522-4·7·(-32)
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{-(52)-60}{2*7}=\frac{-112}{14}
=-8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(52)+60}{2*7}=\frac{8}{14}
=4/7
