complete solution.
Step 1: determine the range of x
rewrite the euqation:
4x^2 - 40x + 51 = -40(x - [ x ])
And notice 0
hence
-40
Solve it, we get
3/2
hence:
[ x ] can only be 1 ,2, 3, 6, 7, 8
Take this equation, can easily get
x = sqrt(29)/2 OR sqrt(189)/2 OR sqrt(229)/2 OR sqrt(269)/2
In another word, only [ x ] =2,6,7,8 works
