Solve the equation. For x.
(3/x)+(2/2x)=(-4)
x= ______.
The LCD is 2x and so multiply each term by 2x to get
6 + 2 = -8x
8 = -8x
-1 = x
Have a good day!
(3/x)+(2/2x)=(-4) => 3 + 1 = -4x => x = -1.
okay, 2/2x should cancel out to 1/x. (1/x)+(3/x)=(4/x)
meaning (4/x)=-4
multiply everything by x gets you 4=(-4*x)
divide by -4 and x=-1
Multiply both sides by x:
(3x / x) + (2x / 2x) = -4x
3 + 1 = -4x
4 = -4x
(3/x) times (2x) + (2/2x)(2x) = (-4)(2x)
x = - 1
multiply by x
x = -1
...
3/x is really 3/1x which is 3x. 2/2 is really equal to 1.
So simplified, it's 3x+x=-4.
4x=-4
x=-1
