(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3)=1
Simplifying the left hand first
(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3) = {2m(2m-3) - 2m(2m+3)}/(4m²-9)
(4m²-6m-4m²-6m)/(4m²-9)
= (-12m) / (4m²-9)
Now this equet to 1
(-12m) / (4m²-9) = 1
-12m = 4m²-9
4m²+ 12m -9 =0 ⇒⇒⇒ This is a quadratic equation that has 2 real solutions.
4m²+ 12m -9 =0
m² + 3m + (3/2)²= 9/4 + 9/4
(m + 3/2)² = 18/4
m = √18/2 - 3/2 or m = -√18/2 - 3/2
= 0.621 = -3.621
So we can say that the equation has NO extraneous solutions.
Answer = 0
The number is 4. 15-6=8 divide that by 2 and you are left with 4
-6 is the answer that you want
x=0 or x=4
just factorize basically
cancels the x’s so it’d be 3x-12=0 and from that x=4
