x+5=1/2x

Solution for x+5=1/2x equation:

x+5=1/2x

We move all terms to the left:

x+5-(1/2x)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x)!=0

x!=0/1

x!=0

x∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-(+1/2x)+5=0

We get rid of parentheses

x-1/2x+5=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*2x+5*2x-1=0

Wy multiply elements

2x^2+10x-1=0

a = 2; b = 10; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·2·(-1)
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{-(10)-6\sqrt{3}}{2*2}=\frac{-10-6\sqrt{3}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)+6\sqrt{3}}{2*2}=\frac{-10+6\sqrt{3}}{4}
