Solution for (x-4)(x+4)=64 equation:



(x-4)(x+4)=64
We move all terms to the left:
(x-4)(x+4)-(64)=0
We use the square of the difference formula
x^2-16-64=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
x^2-80=0
a = 1; b = 0; c = -80;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-80)
Δ = 320
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{320}=\sqrt{64*5}=\sqrt{64}*\sqrt{5}=8\sqrt{5}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-8\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{0-8\sqrt{5}}{2} =-\frac{8\sqrt{5}}{2} =-4\sqrt{5} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+8\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{0+8\sqrt{5}}{2} =\frac{8\sqrt{5}}{2} =4\sqrt{5} $
