The original equation is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=59a567606f645c0863126918d3a4e54c.png\")
and value of x is -1/2.
To check the solution of the equation, substitute the value of x=-1/2 in the original equation.

.
The above statement is true, so x=-1/2 is a solution of the original equation.
