Here is the same kind of problem i need help clarifying the steps bc i keep getting confused ^_^ It in the attachment! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here it is: The options are A. {0.25, 2} B. {1/2, 2} C. {1/2, 1} D. {.25, 1}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty please with a cherry on top will u help? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{3}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=4\] is that it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok here goes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 \[x=2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i didn't see the options. it is A.

OpenStudy (m):

satellite73 is a pro :) gj

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhhh i see now!! :) Thanks it would A, then for the most part i got it right!!
