solve equation using sqrt property. express radicals in simplest form: 4-3x=33/(4-3x)
\[4-3x = \frac{33}{4-3x}\]
\[(4-3x)^2 = 33\]
\[4-3x = \sqrt{33}\]
You can solve for x from there
so... (sqrt(33)-4)/-3 does that look right?
Yes
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?
put +/- sqrt{33}
sry, I don't quite follow...
\[x = \frac{\pm \sqrt{33}-4}{-3}\]
nevermind, I got it. the 3 wasn't negative on either side. oh well.
thank you though!!
What do you mean it wasn't negative on either side?
answer was: (4-sqrt33)/3, (4+sqrt33)/3
It's the same answer
I guess the system is picky
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.
