x+1/2x=4

Solution for x+1/2x=4 equation:

x+1/2x=4

We move all terms to the left:

x+1/2x-(4)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*2x-4*2x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

2x^2-8x+1=0

a = 2; b = -8; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·2·1
Δ = 56
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{56}=\sqrt{4*14}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{14}=2\sqrt{14}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-2\sqrt{14}}{2*2}=\frac{8-2\sqrt{14}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+2\sqrt{14}}{2*2}=\frac{8+2\sqrt{14}}{4}
