The first step would be to cross multiply:
x 4
-- = ---
2 12
12x = 8.
Solve the equation from there. :)
Answer:
Answer is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
let us solve the numerator first
=4x²-14x+6
=2(2x²)+2(-7x)+2(3)
= GCF of the terms of the numerator is 2.
denominator
x³-7x²+12x
x(x²)+x(-7x)+x(12)
GCF of the terms of the denominator is x.
factorise the numerator
4x²-14x+6
4x²-2x-12x + 6 (by splitting the middle term; the numbers should produce the product 4*6 and when the no.s are added they should give -14)
(4x²-2x) + (-12x+6)
2x(2x-1) -6(2x-1)
(2x-6)(2x-1)
factors are
(2x-6), (2x-1)
denominator
this can also be done by splitting the middle term
x³-7x²+12x
x³-3x²-4x²+12x
(x³-3x²) + (-4x²+12x)
x²(x-3) -4x(x-3)
(x²-4x)(x-3)
factors are
(x²-4x), (x-3)
