(2/5)x-12=13

Solution for (2/5)x-12=13 equation:

(2/5)x-12=13

We move all terms to the left:

(2/5)x-12-(13)=0


Domain of the equation: 5)x!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+2/5)x-12-13=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+2/5)x-25=0

We multiply parentheses

2x^2-25=0

a = 2; b = 0; c = -25;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·2·(-25)
Δ = 200
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{200}=\sqrt{100*2}=\sqrt{100}*\sqrt{2}=10\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-10\sqrt{2}}{2*2}=\frac{0-10\sqrt{2}}{4}
=-\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{4}
=-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+10\sqrt{2}}{2*2}=\frac{0+10\sqrt{2}}{4}
=\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{4}
=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}
