Question

How do you do this? Thanks for your time and effort!

Answer 1

Well first you have to simplify the denominators with x, by multiplying the denominator on the left times the top and bottom of the middle, and vice versa to get 10x/(4x^2-4x)-9(2x-2)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you combine the fractions on the left to get 2(9-4x)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you cross multiply the fractions to get 8(9-4x)=-4x^2+4x and then simplify to get 72-32x=-4x^2+4x and then 4x^2-36x+72=0 which then we can turn into 4(x-6)(x-3)=0 so x is 6 and 3
