minus 4 both sides
square both sides
x+2=4
minus 2
x=2
<span>the answer is
x = 2; not extraneous</span>
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) is to be solved for r.
I'll begin by making the assumptions that by 1/2r you actually meant (1/2)r and that by 3/2r you actually meant (3/2)r. When in doubt, please use parentheses to make your meaning clear.
Thus, 1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) becomes (1/2)r -3= 3 (4-(3/2)r ) .
Simplify this by multiplying all 3 terms by 2. Doing this will eliminate the fractions:
r -6 = 3 (4*2-(3)r ) or r - 6 = 24 - 9r
Now expand the right side, using the distributive property of
r - 3 = 24 - 9r
Regrouping so as to combine like terms:
10r = 30
Solving for r: r = 30/10 = 3
The value of r that satisfies this equation is 3
Wait isn’t it 30 or am I reading it wrong?
