7/8x+1=x

Solution for 7/8x+1=x equation:

7/8x+1=x

We move all terms to the left:

7/8x+1-(x)=0


Domain of the equation: 8x!=0

x!=0/8

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x+7/8x+1=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-1x*8x+1*8x+7=0

Wy multiply elements

-8x^2+8x+7=0

a = -8; b = 8; c = +7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·(-8)·7
Δ = 288
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{288}=\sqrt{144*2}=\sqrt{144}*\sqrt{2}=12\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-12\sqrt{2}}{2*-8}=\frac{-8-12\sqrt{2}}{-16}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+12\sqrt{2}}{2*-8}=\frac{-8+12\sqrt{2}}{-16}
