16-8x+x^{2}+16=\left(4+x\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4-x\right)^{2}.
32-8x+x^{2}=\left(4+x\right)^{2}
Add 16 and 16 to get 32.
32-8x+x^{2}=16+8x+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4+x\right)^{2}.
32-8x+x^{2}-8x=16+x^{2}
Subtract 8x from both sides.
32-16x+x^{2}=16+x^{2}
Combine -8x and -8x to get -16x.
32-16x+x^{2}-x^{2}=16
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
32-16x=16
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-16x=16-32
Subtract 32 from both sides.
-16x=-16
Subtract 32 from 16 to get -16.
x=\frac{-16}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
x=1
Divide -16 by -16 to get 1.
