5x^2-8=2x^2+1

Solution for 5x^2-8=2x^2+1 equation:

5x^2-8=2x^2+1

We move all terms to the left:

5x^2-8-(2x^2+1)=0

We get rid of parentheses

5x^2-2x^2-1-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x^2-9=0

a = 3; b = 0; c = -9;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·3·(-9)
Δ = 108
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{108}=\sqrt{36*3}=\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{3}=6\sqrt{3}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-6\sqrt{3}}{2*3}=\frac{0-6\sqrt{3}}{6}
=-\frac{6\sqrt{3}}{6}
=-\sqrt{3}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+6\sqrt{3}}{2*3}=\frac{0+6\sqrt{3}}{6}
=\frac{6\sqrt{3}}{6}
=\sqrt{3}
