Wait doesnt x = 2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
>.< nvm thats not one of the option i need help clarifying the steps
OpenStudy (m):
this is a long one so i'll probably make a mistake somewhere
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{3}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=4\]
\[\frac{3x+2(x-1)}{x(x-1)}=4\]
\[\frac{5x-2}{x(x-1)}=4\]
\[5x-2=4x(x-1)\]
\[5x-2=4x^2-4x\]
\[4x^2-9x+2=0\]
\[(4x-1)(x-2)=0\]
\[x=\frac{1}{4}\] or \[x=2\]
