Learn how to solve quadratic formula problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation x^2+6x+8=56. Group the terms of the equation by moving the terms that have the variable x to the left side, and those that do not have it to the right side. Subtract the values 56 and -8. Rewrite the equation. To find the roots of a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c we use the quadratic formula, where in this case a=1, b=6 and c=-48. Then substitute the values of the coefficients of the equation in the quadratic formula: \displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

Final answer to the problem

$x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{228}}{2},\:x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{228}}{2}$
