(5/8)x=160

Solution for (5/8)x=160 equation:

(5/8)x=160

We move all terms to the left:

(5/8)x-(160)=0


Domain of the equation: 8)x!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+5/8)x-160=0

We multiply parentheses

5x^2-160=0

a = 5; b = 0; c = -160;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·5·(-160)
Δ = 3200
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3200}=\sqrt{1600*2}=\sqrt{1600}*\sqrt{2}=40\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-40\sqrt{2}}{2*5}=\frac{0-40\sqrt{2}}{10}
=-\frac{40\sqrt{2}}{10}
=-4\sqrt{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+40\sqrt{2}}{2*5}=\frac{0+40\sqrt{2}}{10}
=\frac{40\sqrt{2}}{10}
=4\sqrt{2}
