Solve the following quadratic equation by factorization:
$16x\ –\ \frac{10}{x}\ =\ 27$


Given:

Given quadratic equation is $16x\ –\ \frac{10}{x}\ =\ 27$.

To do:

We have to solve the given quadratic equation by factorization. 

Solution:

$16x\ –\ \frac{10}{x}\ =\ 27$ can be written as,

$x(16x-\frac{10}{x}=x(27)$    (Multiply by $x$ on both sides)

$16x^2-10=27x$ 

$16x^2-27x-10=0$

$16x^2-32x+5x-10=0$

$16x(x-2)+5(x-2)=0$

$(16x+5)(x-2)=0$

$16x+5=0$ or $x-2=0$

$16x=-5$ or $x=2$

$x=\frac{-5}{16}$ or $x=2$

The roots of the given quadratic equation are $\frac{-5}{16}$ and $2$.
