3a2-10a=8

Solution for 3a2-10a=8 equation:

3a^2-10a=8

We move all terms to the left:

3a^2-10a-(8)=0

a = 3; b = -10; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·3·(-8)
Δ = 196
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-14}{2*3}=\frac{-4}{6}
=-2/3
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+14}{2*3}=\frac{24}{6}
=4
