x+12/x=8

Solution for x+12/x=8 equation:

x+12/x=8

We move all terms to the left:

x+12/x-(8)=0


Domain of the equation: x!=0

x∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*x-8*x+12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-8x+x*x+12=0

Wy multiply elements

x^2-8x+12=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = +12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·12
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-4}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+4}{2*1}=\frac{12}{2}
=6
