Answer:
I think the answer is srry if I'm wrong but it's 22 or 42
Step-by-step explanation:
ur welcome srry if I got it wrong
(24-x)/8=x/6
or 24-x=4x/3
24(3)-3x=4x
24(3)=7x
24(3)/7=x
Marcus; 17/24 is greater than 7/16
We have 2 denominators that we need to get rid of. Whenever there are the denominators, all we have to do is multiply all whole equation with the denominators.
Our denominators are both 2 and x+1. Therefore, we multiply the whole equation by 2(x+1)
Then shorten the fractions.
Distribute in all.
We should get like this. Because the polynomial is 2-degree, I'd suggest you to move all terms to one place. Therefore, moving 2x+2 to another side and subtract.
We are almost there. All we have to do is, solving for x by factoring. (Although there are more than just factoring but factoring this polynomial is faster.)
Thus, the answer is x = 3, -2
