y = x2 - 3x - 20 is a formula linking two variables, x and y. It does not - indeed, it cannot - have a solution.

The equation x2 - 3x - 20 = 0 has solutions at x = -3.217 and x = 6.217 approx.

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, .
