169 - x  = 196 + -15 + x 
$$169 - x^{2} = \left(x^{2} - 15\right) + 196$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$169 - x^{2} = \left(x^{2} - 15\right) + 196$$
to
$$\left(169 - x^{2}\right) + \left(\left(15 - x^{2}\right) - 196\right) = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -2$$
$$b = 0$$
$$c = -12$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (-2) * (-12) = -96

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = - \sqrt{6} i$$
$$x_{2} = \sqrt{6} i$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$169 - x^{2} = \left(x^{2} - 15\right) + 196$$
of
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$x^{2} + 6 = 0$$
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 0$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 6$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 0$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = 6$$
