Question 1183628: z=x-8/2x, then x
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
assuming that z=x-(8/2x). If this is z=(x-8)/2x see below
2xz=2x^2-8 multiplying through by 2x
2x^2-2xz-8=0
x^2-zx-4=0
x=(z+/- sqrt(z^2+16))/2
----
if the other
2xz=x-8
2xz-x=-8
x(2z-1)=-8
x=(-8/(2z-1))
The parentheses matter.
