Question

2/x-3=4/x+4 72 −11 10 −2

Answer 1

Equation:

2/x        -    3        =       4/x      +        4

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2/x        -    3        =       4/x      +        4

2/x     +       -    3        =       4/x      +        4

Multiply all terms by x and cancel:

2     +      −3x       =     4       +      4x

−3x       +        2      =      4x      +     4           (Simplify both sides of the equation)

−3x     +     2      −       4x     =    4x     +   4     −    4x   (Subtract 4x from both sides)

−7x        +        2         =       4

−7x        +       2      −      2     =    4     −       2            (Subtract 2 from both sides)

−7x            =           2

-7x/ -7          =      2/ -7

x                    =           -2/7

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x         =         -2/7       (Works in Original Equation)

Therefore, your answer is :  

2/x        -    3        =       4/x      +        4    

x           =         -2/7

Decimal:       x     =      0.28571    

So,  Letter Choice, (D), would be the best answer to your Equation:    -2

Hope that helps!!!!                                : )
