3x-1/2x-25+8=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


3x*2x-25*2x+8*2x-1=0

Wy multiply elements

6x^2-50x+16x-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

6x^2-34x-1=0

a = 6; b = -34; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -342-4·6·(-1)
Δ = 1180
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1180}=\sqrt{4*295}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{295}=2\sqrt{295}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-34)-2\sqrt{295}}{2*6}=\frac{34-2\sqrt{295}}{12}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-34)+2\sqrt{295}}{2*6}=\frac{34+2\sqrt{295}}{12}
