x!=0/8

x!=0

x∈R



Domain of the equation: 2x-2)!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

5/8x-1/2x+2-12=0

We calculate fractions


10x/16x^2+(-8x)/16x^2+2-12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

10x/16x^2+(-8x)/16x^2-10=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


10x+(-8x)-10*16x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-160x^2+10x+(-8x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-160x^2+10x-8x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-160x^2+2x=0

a = -160; b = 2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·(-160)·0
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{-(2)-2}{2*-160}=\frac{-4}{-320}
=1/80
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2}{2*-160}=\frac{0}{-320}
=0
