Solution for 11/2x+x+(x-2)=40 equation:

11/2x+x+(x-2)=40

We move all terms to the left:

11/2x+x+(x-2)-(40)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x+11/2x+(x-2)-40=0

We get rid of parentheses

x+11/2x+x-2-40=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*2x+x*2x-2*2x-40*2x+11=0

Wy multiply elements

2x^2+2x^2-4x-80x+11=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

4x^2-84x+11=0

a = 4; b = -84; c = +11;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -842-4·4·11
Δ = 6880
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{6880}=\sqrt{16*430}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{430}=4\sqrt{430}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-84)-4\sqrt{430}}{2*4}=\frac{84-4\sqrt{430}}{8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-84)+4\sqrt{430}}{2*4}=\frac{84+4\sqrt{430}}{8}
