x+(1/2)x=18500

Solution for x+(1/2)x=18500 equation:

x+(1/2)x=18500

We move all terms to the left:

x+(1/2)x-(18500)=0


Domain of the equation: 2)x!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x+(+1/2)x-18500=0

We multiply parentheses

x^2+x-18500=0

a = 1; b = 1; c = -18500;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·1·(-18500)
Δ = 74001
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{74001}}{2*1}=\frac{-1-\sqrt{74001}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{74001}}{2*1}=\frac{-1+\sqrt{74001}}{2}
