x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-1/3x-4.8=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*3x-(4.8)*3x-1=0

We multiply parentheses

x*3x-14.4x-1=0

Wy multiply elements

3x^2-14.4x-1=0

a = 3; b = -14.4; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -14.42-4·3·(-1)
Δ = 219.36
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{-(-14.4)-\sqrt{219.36}}{2*3}=\frac{14.4-\sqrt{219.36}}{6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-14.4)+\sqrt{219.36}}{2*3}=\frac{14.4+\sqrt{219.36}}{6}
