4+1/2x=x-3

Solution for 4+1/2x=x-3 equation:

4+1/2x=x-3

We move all terms to the left:

4+1/2x-(x-3)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x!=0

x!=0/2

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

1/2x-x+3+4=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-x*2x+3*2x+4*2x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

-2x^2+6x+8x+1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2x^2+14x+1=0

a = -2; b = 14; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 142-4·(-2)·1
Δ = 204
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{204}=\sqrt{4*51}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{51}=2\sqrt{51}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(14)-2\sqrt{51}}{2*-2}=\frac{-14-2\sqrt{51}}{-4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(14)+2\sqrt{51}}{2*-2}=\frac{-14+2\sqrt{51}}{-4}
