Hello there.

Please Help!! George tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation becomes unsolvable. "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero," George explains. Using complete sentences, demonstrate to George how the equation is still solvable

For the answer to the question above, I'll provide a solution to my answer below.
(4 / 5) + (3 / x) = (1/2)

x cannot equal 0 

(4x + 15) / 5x = 1/2 
2(4x + 15) = 5x 
8x + 30 = 5x 
3x = -30 
x = -10
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!
