X(x+5)/2=18

Solution for X(x+5)/2=18 equation:

X(X+5)/2=18

We move all terms to the left:

X(X+5)/2-(18)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


X(X+5)-18*2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X(X+5)-36=0

We multiply parentheses

X^2+5X-36=0

a = 1; b = 5; c = -36;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·1·(-36)
Δ = 169
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-13}{2*1}=\frac{-18}{2}
=-9
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+13}{2*1}=\frac{8}{2}
=4
