Question

Identify all values of x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 3)/x = -8/(x + 3) , x ≠ 0 or -3

(x - 3)(x + 3) = -8x

x² - 9 = -8x

x² + 8x - 9 = 0

x² + 9x - x - 9 = 0

x(x + 9) - 1(x + 9) = 0

(x + 9)(x - 1) = 0

x = -9

x = 1

x ≠ 0 or -3

-9 ≠ 0 or 3 PROVED

x ≠ 0 or -3

1 ≠ 0 or -3 PROVED

Value of x is -9 and 1
