Solution for 16+x-x^2=0 equation:


Simplifying
16 + x + -1x2 = 0

Solving
16 + x + -1x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-16 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + -1x + 16 + x2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 16
-1x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
-1x + x2 = 16

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 16 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 16 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 16 + 0.25 = 16.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 16.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 16.25
