| ( | 5 | − | x | ) | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | + | 144 25 | = | 16 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | − | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | + | 144 25 |
| = | 5 | × | 5 | − | 5 | x | − | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | + | 144 25 |
| = | 25 | − | 5 | x | − | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | + | 144 25 |
| = | 769 25 | − | 5 | x | − | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) |
| = | 769 25 | − | 5 | x | − | x | × | 5 | + | x | x |
| = | 769 25 | − | 10 | x | + | x | x |
769 25 | − | 10 | x | + | x | x | = | 16 |
| x1= | 9 5 |
