-1/4x=x+8

Solution for -1/4x=x+8 equation:

-1/4x=x+8

We move all terms to the left:

-1/4x-(x+8)=0


Domain of the equation: 4x!=0

x!=0/4

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

-1/4x-x-8=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-x*4x-8*4x-1=0

Wy multiply elements

-4x^2-32x-1=0

a = -4; b = -32; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -322-4·(-4)·(-1)
Δ = 1008
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1008}=\sqrt{144*7}=\sqrt{144}*\sqrt{7}=12\sqrt{7}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-32)-12\sqrt{7}}{2*-4}=\frac{32-12\sqrt{7}}{-8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-32)+12\sqrt{7}}{2*-4}=\frac{32+12\sqrt{7}}{-8}
