Add the numbers
16x2
16x2−3
16x2−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
16x2=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
16x2=3
Divide both sides
1616x2=163
Divide the numbers
x2=163
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±163
