The love equation

Mathematics is a science that many hate, are terrified to hear its name, end their lives with a feeling of contempt for equations, expressions, sentences and problems. On the other hand, there are people who admire her, have true adoration for her mysteries, theorems and axioms, can see between the lines inspiration for stories of love and passion. Galileo Galilei describes his admiration for mathematics with the famous thought: “Mathematics is the alphabet with which God wrote the universe”. Following the line of those who are very fond of this fascinating science, let's show an equation that can serve to win some hearts, even those who have not yet felt the passion for math. Notice the beauty of the structure and even more the final result, a true declaration of love.

Let's consider the positive real numbers The, t, and, O, m. We will get the real value of x in the equation:

Let's square the two members of equality by getting:

Multiplying both members by mo (being mo ≠ 0), we obtain:

Considering a ≠ 0, let's divide the two sides of the equality by The, getting:
