v2+v-64=-8

Solution for v2+v-64=-8 equation:

v2+v-64=-8

We move all terms to the left:

v2+v-64-(-8)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

v^2+v-56=0

a = 1; b = 1; c = -56;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·1·(-56)
Δ = 225
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{225}=15$
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-15}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+15}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
