x  + 6*x + 16 = 0
$$\left(x^{2} + 6 x\right) + 16 = 0$$
Detail solution
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 6$$
$$c = 16$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(6)^2 - 4 * (1) * (16) = -28

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
$$x_{1} = -3 + \sqrt{7} i$$
$$x_{2} = -3 - \sqrt{7} i$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 6$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 16$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = -6$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = 16$$
