Mathematics

Arlecino [84]3 years ago

X = 4 + (x^2 - 4) / (x - 8)
x(x - 8) = 4(x - 8) + x^2 - 4
x^2 - 8x = 4x - 32 + x^2 - 4
-8x - 4x = -32 - 4
-12x = -36
x = -36/-12
x = 3

How many solutions does the equation have?<br><br> 2x + 3 = 4x + 2
fenix001 [56]
Well, solve for x.

Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation

The 4x's will cross out on the right

4x - 4x = 0x = 0

On the left:

2x - 4x = -2x

Now the equation looks like:

-2x + 3 = 2

Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

3 - 3 = 0

On the right:

2 - 3 = -1

Equation:

-2x = -1

Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

-2x ÷ -2 = 1

On the right:

-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2

x= 1/2

So, there is only one solution: 1/2
