Rational equation for x, 3x/x+1 + 4/x-2=3
1 answer:
Answer:
x = - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Express the fractions on the left side as a single fraction.
Multiply the numerator/denominator of the first fraction by (x - 2)
Multiply the numerator/denominator of the second fraction by (x + 1)
+
= 3
Distribute the numerators and simplify
= 3 ( cross- multiply )
3x² - 2x + 4 = 3(x+ 1)(x - 2) ← distribute
3x² - 2x + 4 = 3(x² - x - 2)
3x² - 2x + 4 = 3x² - 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x² - 3x from both sides )
x + 4 = - 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = - 10

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
observe
||a–b+c|| = ||a+b+c||
(a-b+c)² = (a+b+c)²
(a+b+c)² – (a-b+c)² = 0
((a+b+c)+(a-b+c))((a+b+c)–(a-b+c)) = 0
(2a+2c)(2b) = 0
(a+c)b = 0
a•b + c•b = 0
||a||×||b||×cos(π/8) + ||c||×||b||×cos(θ) = 0
