Solution for 1/2x-9=4x equation:

1/2x-9=4x

We move all terms to the left:

1/2x-9-(4x)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4x+1/2x-9=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-4x*2x-9*2x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

-8x^2-18x+1=0

a = -8; b = -18; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -182-4·(-8)·1
Δ = 356
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{356}=\sqrt{4*89}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{89}=2\sqrt{89}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-18)-2\sqrt{89}}{2*-8}=\frac{18-2\sqrt{89}}{-16}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-18)+2\sqrt{89}}{2*-8}=\frac{18+2\sqrt{89}}{-16}
