x2-16x=30

Solution for x2-16x=30 equation:

x2-16x=30

We move all terms to the left:

x2-16x-(30)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-16x-30=0

a = 1; b = -16; c = -30;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·1·(-30)
Δ = 376
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{376}=\sqrt{4*94}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{94}=2\sqrt{94}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-2\sqrt{94}}{2*1}=\frac{16-2\sqrt{94}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+2\sqrt{94}}{2*1}=\frac{16+2\sqrt{94}}{2}
