We move all terms to the left:

x-(1/6x)-(5)=0


Domain of the equation: 6x)!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-(+1/6x)-5=0

We get rid of parentheses

x-1/6x-5=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*6x-5*6x-1=0

Wy multiply elements

6x^2-30x-1=0

a = 6; b = -30; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -302-4·6·(-1)
Δ = 924
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{924}=\sqrt{4*231}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{231}=2\sqrt{231}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-30)-2\sqrt{231}}{2*6}=\frac{30-2\sqrt{231}}{12}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-30)+2\sqrt{231}}{2*6}=\frac{30+2\sqrt{231}}{12}
