(16x)^2+(9x)^2=42^2

Solution for (16x)^2+(9x)^2=42^2 equation:

(16x)^2+(9x)^2=42^2

We move all terms to the left:

(16x)^2+(9x)^2-(42^2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

25x^2-1764=0

a = 25; b = 0; c = -1764;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·25·(-1764)
Δ = 176400
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{176400}=420$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-420}{2*25}=\frac{-420}{50}
=-8+2/5
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+420}{2*25}=\frac{420}{50}
=8+2/5
