We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
X^2-2X-16=0
a = 1; b = -2; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-16)
Δ = 68
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{68}=\sqrt{4*17}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{17}=2\sqrt{17}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{2-2\sqrt{17}}{2} $
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{2+2\sqrt{17}}{2} $
