Step 1 :\begin{align*} x^2 - 16x + 63 &= 0 \\ x^2 - 16x + 64 &= 1 \\ (x - 8)^2 &= 1 \end{align*}
Step 2 :\begin{align*} (x - 8)^2 &= 1 \\ x - 8 &= \pm \sqrt{1} \\ x &= 8 \pm 1 \end{align*}
Step 3 :\begin{align*} x &= 8 + 1 \\ x &= \boxed{9} \end{align*}
Step 4 :\begin{align*} x &= 8 - 1 \\ x &= \boxed{7} \end{align*}
