w-21/w=4

Solution for w-21/w=4 equation:

w-21/w=4

We move all terms to the left:

w-21/w-(4)=0


Domain of the equation: w!=0

w∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


w*w-4*w-21=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4w+w*w-21=0

Wy multiply elements

w^2-4w-21=0

a = 1; b = -4; c = -21;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·1·(-21)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-10}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+10}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
