x-16/x-6=0

Solution for x-16/x-6=0 equation:

x-16/x-6=0


Domain of the equation: x!=0

x∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*x-6*x-16=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-6x+x*x-16=0

Wy multiply elements

x^2-6x-16=0

a = 1; b = -6; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -62-4·1·(-16)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)-10}{2*1}=\frac{-4}{2}
=-2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)+10}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
