X+17=7/8x

Solution for X+17=7/8x equation:

X+17=7/8X

We move all terms to the left:

X+17-(7/8X)=0


Domain of the equation: 8X)!=0

X!=0/1

X!=0

X∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X-(+7/8X)+17=0

We get rid of parentheses

X-7/8X+17=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


X*8X+17*8X-7=0

Wy multiply elements

8X^2+136X-7=0

a = 8; b = 136; c = -7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 1362-4·8·(-7)
Δ = 18720
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{18720}=\sqrt{144*130}=\sqrt{144}*\sqrt{130}=12\sqrt{130}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(136)-12\sqrt{130}}{2*8}=\frac{-136-12\sqrt{130}}{16}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(136)+12\sqrt{130}}{2*8}=\frac{-136+12\sqrt{130}}{16}
