1. Problem Description

We need to find the roots of the equation 2(x+19)=13x+2(x219)2(x+19) = 13x + 2(x^2-19).

2. Solution Steps

First, we expand both sides of the equation:
2(x+19)=2x+382(x+19) = 2x + 38
13x+2(x219)=13x+2x23813x + 2(x^2-19) = 13x + 2x^2 - 38
So, the equation becomes:
2x+38=13x+2x2382x + 38 = 13x + 2x^2 - 38
Now, rearrange the equation to set it equal to zero:
2x2+13x2x3838=02x^2 + 13x - 2x - 38 - 38 = 0
2x2+11x76=02x^2 + 11x - 76 = 0
We can solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
In our case, a=2a = 2, b=11b = 11, and c=76c = -76. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula:
x=11±1124(2)(76)2(2)x = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{11^2 - 4(2)(-76)}}{2(2)}
x=11±121+6084x = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{121 + 608}}{4}
x=11±7294x = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{729}}{4}
x=11±274x = \frac{-11 \pm 27}{4}
So, we have two possible solutions:
x1=11+274=164=4x_1 = \frac{-11 + 27}{4} = \frac{16}{4} = 4
x2=11274=384=192x_2 = \frac{-11 - 27}{4} = \frac{-38}{4} = -\frac{19}{2}

3. Final Answer

4,1924, -\frac{19}{2}
