Answer:
x=−2, 2.6666
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4=(1/2(2x+4+x))(x−2)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4=3/2 x2−x−4
Step 2: Subtract 3/2x^2-x-4 from both sides.
4−(3/2 x2−x−4)=
3/2 x2−x−4−(3/2 x2−x−4)
−3/2 x2 +x+8=0
For this equation: a=-1.5, b=1, c=8
−1.5x2+1x+8=0
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=-1.5, b=1, c=8.
x=−b±√b2−4ac
2a
x=−(1)±√(1)2−4(−1.5)(8)
2(−1.5)
x=−1±√49
−3
x=−2,2.66666666666666666666666666666
