1/3x=-2x+14

Solution for 1/3x=-2x+14 equation:

1/3x=-2x+14

We move all terms to the left:

1/3x-(-2x+14)=0


Domain of the equation: 3x!=0

x!=0/3

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

1/3x+2x-14=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


2x*3x-14*3x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

6x^2-42x+1=0

a = 6; b = -42; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -422-4·6·1
Δ = 1740
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1740}=\sqrt{4*435}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{435}=2\sqrt{435}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-42)-2\sqrt{435}}{2*6}=\frac{42-2\sqrt{435}}{12}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-42)+2\sqrt{435}}{2*6}=\frac{42+2\sqrt{435}}{12}
