x=5/2x-1

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

x=5/2x-1

We move all terms to the left:

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


Domain of the equation: 2x-1)!=0

x∈R


We get rid of parentheses

x-5/2x+1=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


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

Wy multiply elements

2x^2+2x-5=0

a = 2; b = 2; c = -5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·2·(-5)
Δ = 44
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{44}=\sqrt{4*11}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{11}=2\sqrt{11}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2\sqrt{11}}{2*2}=\frac{-2-2\sqrt{11}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2\sqrt{11}}{2*2}=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{11}}{4}
