a-2/a=1

Solution for a-2/a=1 equation:

a-2/a=1

We move all terms to the left:

a-2/a-(1)=0


Domain of the equation: a!=0

a∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


a*a-1*a-2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1a+a*a-2=0

Wy multiply elements

a^2-1a-2=0

a = 1; b = -1; c = -2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·1·(-2)
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-3}{2*1}=\frac{-2}{2}
=-1
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+3}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
