x-5/4x=1=x=5/x

Solution for x-5/4x=1=x=5/x equation:

x-5/4x=1=x=5/x

We move all terms to the left:

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


Domain of the equation: 4x!=0

x!=0/4

x!=0

x∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


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

Wy multiply elements

4x^2-4x-5=0

a = 4; b = -4; c = -5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·4·(-5)
Δ = 96
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{96}=\sqrt{16*6}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{6}=4\sqrt{6}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-4\sqrt{6}}{2*4}=\frac{4-4\sqrt{6}}{8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+4\sqrt{6}}{2*4}=\frac{4+4\sqrt{6}}{8}
