What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation? x (x 8) = 9

If you would like to know the value of b^2 - 4 * a * c, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x * (x + 8) = 9

x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

a = 1

b = 8

c = - 9

D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 8^2 - 4 * 1 * (-9) = 64 + 4 * 9 = 64 + 36 = 100

The correct result would be 100.
