Question

1/t-2 = t/8

Answer 1

Is the -2 on the bottom?

Answer 2

The t-2 is all on the bottom

Answer 3

Whenever you have a fraction = fraction you can cross multiply.

1 * 8 = (t - 2) * t

Answer 4

8 = t^2 - 2t

Answer 5

0 = t^2 - 2t - 8
0 = (t - 4)(t + 2)
t = 4 or t = -2

Answer 6

Thank You

Answer 7

What about when you add another number into the equation?
4/3(c+4) + 1 = 2c/(c+4)

Answer 8

Common denominator is 3(c + 4) so you put that on top of each term.

3(c+4)*4 3(c+4)*1 2c
------- + = -------
3(c+4) c + 4

Answer 9

Oops I missed the last term 3(c+4)*2c
--------
c+4

Answer 10

4 + 3c + 12 = 6c

Answer 11

3c + 16 = 6c

Answer 12

16 = 3c

Answer 13

16/3 = c

c = 16/3 or 5 1/3

Answer 14

ok thank you

Answer 15

(a/a+3) = (2a/a-3) -1

Answer 16

Common denominator of (a + 3)(a - 3) so put that on top of every term

Answer 17

(a + 3)(a - 3)a (a + 3)(a - 3)*2a (a + 3)(a - 3)*1
------------ = -------------- - --------------
(a + 3) (a - 3)

Cancel the bottoms into the top

Answer 18

thank you so much for your help

Answer 19

(a - 3)a = (a + 3)2a - (a + 3)(a - 3)

a^2 - 3a = 2a^2 + 6a - (a^2 - 9)
a^2 - 3a = 2a^2 + 6a - a^2 + 9 distribute the - sign
a^2 - 3a = a^2 + 6a + 9 add like terms
-3a = 6a + 9 subtract a^2 from both sides
-9a = 9 subtract 6a from both sides
a = -1
