The solution

You have entered [src]
8*x*(1 + 2*x) = -1
$$8 x \left(2 x + 1\right) = -1$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$8 x \left(2 x + 1\right) = -1$$
to
$$8 x \left(2 x + 1\right) + 1 = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$8 x \left(2 x + 1\right) + 1 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$16 x^{2} + 8 x + 1 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 16$$
$$b = 8$$
$$c = 1$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(8)^2 - 4 * (16) * (1) = 0

Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = -8/2/(16)

$$x_{1} = - \frac{1}{4}$$
