\[4-3x = \frac{33}{4-3x}\]
hero (hero):
\[(4-3x)^2 = 33\]
hero (hero):
\[4-3x = \sqrt{33}\]
hero (hero):
You can solve for x from there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so...
(sqrt(33)-4)/-3
does that look right?

Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so since I need a positive and a negative answer, will the second one be:
(sqrt(33)+4)/-3
or does the negative 3 turn into a positive 3?
hero (hero):
put +/- sqrt{33}
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sry, I don't quite follow...
hero (hero):
\[x = \frac{\pm \sqrt{33}-4}{-3}\]

nevermind, I got it. the 3 wasn't negative on either side. oh well.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you though!!
hero (hero):
What do you mean it wasn't negative on either side?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
answer was:
(4-sqrt33)/3, (4+sqrt33)/3
hero (hero):
It's the same answer

I guess the system is picky
hero (hero):
If I had just posted what x was, you may have gotten it. I didn't know what form they wanted the answer in. Online tests are stupid.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol
