You can't state "the" solution.

You can choose any number you want for 'x', and the equation gives you the corresponding

value of 'y'. That pair of numbers is a 'solution' to the equation, and there are an infinite

number of such pairs.

If you were to graph the equation, the graph would be a straight line with no end

in either direction. Every point on that line is a "solution" to the equation, and we

don't have to tell you how many points there are on a straight line with no ends . . .

How do you solve 0 equals x squared minus ten x plus 16?

x^(2) - 10x + 16 = 0 Factors of '16', which are, 1,2,4,8,16. Select two numbers from this list that add/subtract to '10' . They are '2' and '8'. Setting up brackets ( x 2)(x 8) Since '16' is positive(+), then both signs must be the same. Since '10x' is negative (-) , then both signs are negative. Hence (x - 2)(x - 8 ) = 0 When x - 2 = 0 x = 2 & when x - 8 = 0 x = 8 So the two answers are ,2, & ,8, .
