9-x^{2}=16-\left(25-10x+x^{2}\right)
Subtract 16 from 25 to get 9.
9-x^{2}=16-25+10x-x^{2}
To find the opposite of 25-10x+x^{2}, find the opposite of each term.
9-x^{2}=-9+10x-x^{2}
Subtract 25 from 16 to get -9.
9-x^{2}-10x=-9-x^{2}
Subtract 10x from both sides.
9-x^{2}-10x+x^{2}=-9
Add x^{2} to both sides.
9-10x=-9
Combine -x^{2} and x^{2} to get 0.
-10x=-9-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
-10x=-18
Subtract 9 from -9 to get -18.
x=\frac{-18}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=\frac{9}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-18}{-10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
