  1. Set Equations Equal: Set the equations equal to each other since they both equal yy. x+9=x2+16x+63x + 9 = x^2 + 16x + 63
  2. Move Terms to One Side: Move all terms to one side to set the equation to 00. x2+16x+63x9=0x^2 + 16x + 63 - x - 9 = 0 x2+15x+54=0x^2 + 15x + 54 = 0
  3. Factor Quadratic Equation: Factor the quadratic equation. (x+6)(x+9)=0(x + 6)(x + 9) = 0
  4. Solve for x: Solve for xx. x+6=0x + 6 = 0 or x+9=0x + 9 = 0 x=6x = -6 or x=9x = -9
