5÷x-4 - 2÷x+2 = 4÷x-4

1 answer:

8 0

I'd suggest you begin by subtracting 4 / (x-4) from both sides. Doing that would leave you with 1 / (x-4) - 2 / (x+2) = 0.

LCD is (x-4)(x+2). Mult. all three terms by (x-4)(x+2). The resulting equation is

x+2 - 2(x-4) = 0. Then x+2 = 2x - 8 => x = 10

Subst. 10 for x in the original equation to verify that 10 is indeed a solution.

What you do is 20 divided by 4, which is 5. So then you times 32 by 5 and that's how you get 160.

What is greater than 40 but less than 20

Paladinen [302]

I've already been complemented twice on my previous answer, but then I discovered that I mis-read the question. My entire original answer was wrong, and I have to delete it.

I don't believe that any number can satisfy both of those conditions.
I'll say the question has no answer.
