(X-8)(x-2)=16

Solution for (X-8)(x-2)=16 equation:

(X-8)(X-2)=16

We move all terms to the left:

(X-8)(X-2)-(16)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+X^2-2X-8X+16)-16=0

We get rid of parentheses

X^2-2X-8X+16-16=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-10X=0

a = 1; b = -10; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·1·0
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-10}{2*1}=\frac{0}{2}
=0
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+10}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
