5/3x=2x-12

Solution for 5/3x=2x-12 equation:

5/3x=2x-12

We move all terms to the left:

5/3x-(2x-12)=0


Domain of the equation: 3x!=0

x!=0/3

x!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

5/3x-2x+12=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-2x*3x+12*3x+5=0

Wy multiply elements

-6x^2+36x+5=0

a = -6; b = 36; c = +5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 362-4·(-6)·5
Δ = 1416
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1416}=\sqrt{4*354}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{354}=2\sqrt{354}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(36)-2\sqrt{354}}{2*-6}=\frac{-36-2\sqrt{354}}{-12}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(36)+2\sqrt{354}}{2*-6}=\frac{-36+2\sqrt{354}}{-12}
