16x-16=-1%2Fx
16x-16%2B1%2Fx=0
%2816x%5E2-16x%2B1%29%2Fx=0
16x%5E2-16x%2B1=0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
a=16, b=-16, c=1
x+=+%28-%28-16%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-16%29%5E2-4%2A16%2A1+%29%29%2F%282%2A16%29+
x=+%2816+%2B-+sqrt%28+192+%29%29%2F32
x=+%2816+%2B-+8sqrt%28+3%29%29%2F32
x=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+3%29%29%2F4
Answer: x=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+3%29%29%2F4
