1/2x+8=x+10

Solution for 1/2x+8=x+10 equation:

1/2x+8=x+10

We move all terms to the left:

1/2x+8-(x+10)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

1/2x-x-10+8=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-x*2x-10*2x+8*2x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

-2x^2-20x+16x+1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

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

a = -2; b = -4; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·(-2)·1
Δ = 24
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{24}=\sqrt{4*6}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{6}=2\sqrt{6}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-2\sqrt{6}}{2*-2}=\frac{4-2\sqrt{6}}{-4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+2\sqrt{6}}{2*-2}=\frac{4+2\sqrt{6}}{-4}
