Answer:
Simplifying
x2 + 16x + -9 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-9 + 16x + x2 = 0
Solving
-9 + 16x + x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Begin completing the square.
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + 16x + 9 + x2 = 0 + 9
Reorder the terms:
-9 + 9 + 16x + x2 = 0 + 9
Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0 + 16x + x2 = 0 + 9
16x + x2 = 0 + 9
Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9
16x + x2 = 9
The x term is 16x. Take half its coefficient (8).
Square it (64) and add it to both sides.
Add '64' to each side of the equation.
16x + 64 + x2 = 9 + 64
Reorder the terms:
64 + 16x + x2 = 9 + 64
Combine like terms: 9 + 64 = 73
64 + 16x + x2 = 73
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 8)(x + 8) = 73
Calculate the square root of the right side: 8.544003745
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + 8) equal to 8.544003745 and -8.544003745.
