+
= 0
1st step: We need to have a common denominator.
So we do this:
+
= 0
2nd step: Distribute them
+
= 0
3rd step: Do the rest of the equation!
We can put it on one fraction, its fine.
= 0
= 0 (-15 and 15 cancels out)
4th step: take the denominator to the other side
4x²+39 = 0 (anything × 0 = 0)
5th step: Take 39 to the other side
4x² = -39
6th step: Divide by 4 on both sides
=
(4 and 4 cancels out)
x² =
7th step: Take the square root to keep x alone
x =
It can also be written as:
x =
Final answer:
x =
