-16=x^2-10x

Solution for -16=x^2-10x equation:

-16=x^2-10x

We move all terms to the left:

-16-(x^2-10x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-x^2+10x-16=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x^2+10x-16=0

a = -1; b = 10; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·(-1)·(-16)
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)-6}{2*-1}=\frac{-16}{-2}
=+8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)+6}{2*-1}=\frac{-4}{-2}
=+2
