Question

solve algebraically for x: x+2/6 = 3/x-1.
(/ symbol makes it a fraction)

Answer 1

x=-5 or x=4

Answer 2

x+2/6 = 3/x-1
x+1/2=3/x-1
x-3/x=-1-1/2
(x^2-3)/x=-3/2
2*(x^2-3)=-3*x
2x^2-6+3x=0
D=b^2-4ac=36-4*2*3=12>0
X1=(-b-sqrD)/2a
X2=(-b+sqrD)2a
I guess....

Answer 3

A little error at the beginning: 2/6 simplifies to 1/3, not 1/2.

Answer 4

yea..i was wondering why D's sqr wan't a integer...thanks :):):)
