x-5/2x=1

Solution for x-5/2x=1 equation:

x-5/2x=1

We move all terms to the left:

x-5/2x-(1)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*2x-1*2x-5=0

Wy multiply elements

2x^2-2x-5=0

a = 2; b = -2; c = -5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·2·(-5)
Δ = 44
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{44}=\sqrt{4*11}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{11}=2\sqrt{11}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2\sqrt{11}}{2*2}=\frac{2-2\sqrt{11}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2\sqrt{11}}{2*2}=\frac{2+2\sqrt{11}}{4}
