16x^{2}+32=33xx
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
16x^{2}+32=33x^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
16x^{2}+32-33x^{2}=0
Subtract 33x^{2} from both sides.
-17x^{2}+32=0
Combine 16x^{2} and -33x^{2} to get -17x^{2}.
-17x^{2}=-32
Subtract 32 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}=\frac{-32}{-17}
Divide both sides by -17.
x^{2}=\frac{32}{17}
Fraction \frac{-32}{-17} can be simplified to \frac{32}{17} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
x=\frac{4\sqrt{34}}{17} x=-\frac{4\sqrt{34}}{17}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
16x^{2}+32=33xx
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
16x^{2}+32=33x^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
16x^{2}+32-33x^{2}=0
Subtract 33x^{2} from both sides.
-17x^{2}+32=0
Combine 16x^{2} and -33x^{2} to get -17x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-17\right)\times 32}}{2\left(-17\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -17 for a, 0 for b, and 32 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-17\right)\times 32}}{2\left(-17\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{68\times 32}}{2\left(-17\right)}
Multiply -4 times -17.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2176}}{2\left(-17\right)}
Multiply 68 times 32.
x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{34}}{2\left(-17\right)}
Take the square root of 2176.
x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{34}}{-34}
Multiply 2 times -17.
x=-\frac{4\sqrt{34}}{17}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{34}}{-34} when ± is plus.
x=\frac{4\sqrt{34}}{17}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{34}}{-34} when ± is minus.
x=-\frac{4\sqrt{34}}{17} x=\frac{4\sqrt{34}}{17}
The equation is now solved.
