5^2+x2=16^2

Solution for 5^2+x2=16^2 equation:

5^2+x2=16^2

We move all terms to the left:

5^2+x2-(16^2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-231=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -231;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-231)
Δ = 924
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{924}=\sqrt{4*231}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{231}=2\sqrt{231}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{231}}{2*1}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{231}}{2}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{231}}{2}
=-\sqrt{231}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{231}}{2*1}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{231}}{2}
=\frac{2\sqrt{231}}{2}
=\sqrt{231}
