Question

-8=1/3x+x
show the steps

Answer 1

to be honest it's confusing...
if you mean that -8=(1/3)*x+x then
-8=1/3*x+x=4/3*x x=-6
or if you mean -8=1/(3*x)+x then
-8x=1/3+x^2 3x^2+24x+1=0 then x=[(-12\pm \sqrt{141})/3\]

Answer 2

\[-8=1/3x +x ---- -24x=1+3x ^{2} ----- 3x ^{2}+24x+1=0\]

Answer 3

\[3x ^{2} +24x +1=0\]
