Domain of the equation: 3x!=0

x!=0/3

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-5x+1/3x-7=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-5x*3x-7*3x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

-15x^2-21x+1=0

a = -15; b = -21; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -212-4·(-15)·1
Δ = 501
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-21)-\sqrt{501}}{2*-15}=\frac{21-\sqrt{501}}{-30}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-21)+\sqrt{501}}{2*-15}=\frac{21+\sqrt{501}}{-30}
