Question

Solve for all possible values of x. √60 8x = x - 9

Answer 1

The possible values of x are 3 and 7

Solving rational expressions

Given the rational expression below;

√60-8x = x - 9

Square both sides to have:

(60-8x)² = (x-9)²

60-8x = x²-18x+81

Equate to zero to have;

x²-18x+81 - 60 + 8x = 0

x² - 10x + 21 = 0

x² -3x-7x +21 = 0

x(x-3)-7(x-3) = 0

x = 3 and 7

Hence the possible values of x are 3 and 7
