(1/2)x-4x=14

Solution for (1/2)x-4x=14 equation:

(1/2)x-4x=14

We move all terms to the left:

(1/2)x-4x-(14)=0


Domain of the equation: 2)x!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+1/2)x-4x-14=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4x+(+1/2)x-14=0

We multiply parentheses

x^2-4x-14=0

a = 1; b = -4; c = -14;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·1·(-14)
Δ = 72
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{72}=\sqrt{36*2}=\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{2}=6\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-6\sqrt{2}}{2*1}=\frac{4-6\sqrt{2}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+6\sqrt{2}}{2*1}=\frac{4+6\sqrt{2}}{2}
