Question 321856:  Please help me solve this equation: 64x^2-128x-64 
note: it is -128x not -28x 
 Answer by stanbon(75887)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! solve this equation:  
64x^2-128x-64 = 0 
--- 
Factor: 
64(x^2-2x-1) = 0 
Divide by 64 to get: 
x^2-2x-1 = 0 
--------------------- 
Quadratic Formula: 
x = [2 +- sqrt(4-4*1*-1)]/2 
--- 
x = [2 +- sqrt(8)]/2 
--- 
x = [2 +- 2sqrt(2)]/2 
--- 
x = 1 + sqrt(2) or x = 1-sqrt(2)
