1/3x=12-x

Solution for 1/3x=12-x equation:

1/3x=12-x

We move all terms to the left:

1/3x-(12-x)=0


Domain of the equation: 3x!=0

x!=0/3

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

1/3x-(-1x+12)=0

We get rid of parentheses

1/3x+1x-12=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


1x*3x-12*3x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

3x^2-36x+1=0

a = 3; b = -36; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -362-4·3·1
Δ = 1284
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1284}=\sqrt{4*321}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{321}=2\sqrt{321}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-36)-2\sqrt{321}}{2*3}=\frac{36-2\sqrt{321}}{6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-36)+2\sqrt{321}}{2*3}=\frac{36+2\sqrt{321}}{6}
