Wy multiply elements

100x^2-1640x-16=0

a = 100; b = -1640; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -16402-4·100·(-16)
Δ = 2696000
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2696000}=\sqrt{1600*1685}=\sqrt{1600}*\sqrt{1685}=40\sqrt{1685}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1640)-40\sqrt{1685}}{2*100}=\frac{1640-40\sqrt{1685}}{200}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1640)+40\sqrt{1685}}{2*100}=\frac{1640+40\sqrt{1685}}{200}
