Answer

Given, 4x2 + 15 = 16x.

⇒ 4x2 - 16x + 15 = 0

⇒ 4x2 - 10x - 6x + 15 = 0

⇒ 2x(2x - 5) - 3(2x - 5) = 0

⇒ (2x - 5)(2x - 3) = 0

⇒ 2x - 5 = 0 or 2x - 3 = 0

⇒ 2x = 5 or 2x = 3

⇒ x = 52 or 32\dfrac{5}{2} \text{ or } \dfrac{3}{2}.

Hence, roots of the given equations are 32,52\dfrac{3}{2}, \dfrac{5}{2}.
