16/3x-(x-15)=0


Domain of the equation: 3x!=0

x!=0/3

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

16/3x-x+15=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-x*3x+15*3x+16=0

Wy multiply elements

a = -3; b = 45; c = +16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 452-4·(-3)·16
Δ = 2217
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{-(45)-\sqrt{2217}}{2*-3}=\frac{-45-\sqrt{2217}}{-6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(45)+\sqrt{2217}}{2*-3}=\frac{-45+\sqrt{2217}}{-6}
