Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

1/2x-2x+5+8=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-2x*2x+5*2x+8*2x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

-4x^2+10x+16x+1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4x^2+26x+1=0

a = -4; b = 26; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 262-4·(-4)·1
Δ = 692
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{692}=\sqrt{4*173}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{173}=2\sqrt{173}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(26)-2\sqrt{173}}{2*-4}=\frac{-26-2\sqrt{173}}{-8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(26)+2\sqrt{173}}{2*-4}=\frac{-26+2\sqrt{173}}{-8}
