Solution for x=8-15/x equation:

x=8-15/x

We move all terms to the left:

x-(8-15/x)=0


Domain of the equation: x)!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-(-15/x+8)=0

We get rid of parentheses

x+15/x-8=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*x-8*x+15=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-8x+x*x+15=0

Wy multiply elements

x^2-8x+15=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = +15;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·15
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-2}{2*1}=\frac{6}{2}
=3
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+2}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
