16-2a=3/2a+9

Solution for 16-2a=3/2a+9 equation:

16-2a=3/2a+9

We move all terms to the left:

16-2a-(3/2a+9)=0


Domain of the equation: 2a+9)!=0

a∈R


We get rid of parentheses

-2a-3/2a-9+16=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-2a*2a-9*2a+16*2a-3=0

Wy multiply elements

-4a^2-18a+32a-3=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4a^2+14a-3=0

a = -4; b = 14; c = -3;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 142-4·(-4)·(-3)
Δ = 148
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{148}=\sqrt{4*37}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{37}=2\sqrt{37}$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(14)-2\sqrt{37}}{2*-4}=\frac{-14-2\sqrt{37}}{-8}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(14)+2\sqrt{37}}{2*-4}=\frac{-14+2\sqrt{37}}{-8}
