5/2x=x+6

Solution for 5/2x=x+6 equation:

5/2x=x+6

We move all terms to the left:

5/2x-(x+6)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

5/2x-x-6=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-x*2x-6*2x+5=0

Wy multiply elements

-2x^2-12x+5=0

a = -2; b = -12; c = +5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·(-2)·5
Δ = 184
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{184}=\sqrt{4*46}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{46}=2\sqrt{46}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-2\sqrt{46}}{2*-2}=\frac{12-2\sqrt{46}}{-4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+2\sqrt{46}}{2*-2}=\frac{12+2\sqrt{46}}{-4}
