Solution for (-5/8)x=-1 equation:

(-5/8)x=-1

We move all terms to the left:

(-5/8)x-(-1)=0


Domain of the equation: 8)x!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(-5/8)x+1=0

We multiply parentheses

-5x^2+1=0

a = -5; b = 0; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-5)·1
Δ = 20
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{20}=\sqrt{4*5}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{5}=2\sqrt{5}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{5}}{2*-5}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{5}}{-10}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{-10}
=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{-5}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{5}}{2*-5}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{5}}{-10}
=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{-10}
=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{-5}
