(x2+6x)+8=0\left(x^{2} + 6 x\right) + 8 = 0
Detail solution
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:
x1=Db2ax_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
x2=Db2ax_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
a=1a = 1
b=6b = 6
c=8c = 8
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(6)^2 - 4 * (1) * (8) = 4

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
x1=2x_{1} = -2
x2=4x_{2} = -4
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
px+q+x2=0p x + q + x^{2} = 0
where
p=bap = \frac{b}{a}
p=6p = 6
q=caq = \frac{c}{a}
q=8q = 8
Vieta Formulas
