4x^2-16x=16x-39
4x^2-32x=-39
4x^2-32x+39 = 0
solve using the quadratic formula to get:
x = {6.5, 1.5}
.
Details of quadratic follows:

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=400 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 6.5, 1.5. Here's your graph:
