x+5=1/2x+4

Solution for x+5=1/2x+4 equation:

x+5=1/2x+4

We move all terms to the left:

x+5-(1/2x+4)=0


Domain of the equation: 2x+4)!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

x-1/2x-4+5=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


x*2x-4*2x+5*2x-1=0

Wy multiply elements

2x^2-8x+10x-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x^2+2x-1=0

a = 2; b = 2; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·2·(-1)
Δ = 12
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{4*3}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2\sqrt{3}}{2*2}=\frac{-2-2\sqrt{3}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2\sqrt{3}}{2*2}=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{3}}{4}
