Solve x^2-16a=0

$$x ^ { 2 } - 16 a = 0$$

Solve for a

$$a=\frac{x^{2}}{16}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-16a=-x^{2}$$

Divide both sides by -16.

$$\frac{-16a}{-16}=-\frac{x^{2}}{-16}$$

Dividing by -16 undoes the multiplication by -16.

$$a=-\frac{x^{2}}{-16}$$

Divide -x^{2} by -16.

$$a=\frac{x^{2}}{16}$$

Solve for x (complex solution)

$$x=-4\sqrt{a}$$

$$x=4\sqrt{a}$$

Solve for x

$$x=4\sqrt{a}$$

$$x=-4\sqrt{a}\text{, }a\geq 0$$
