Solve the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left(\begin{matrix}36 \\ 3x-9\end{matrix}\right)+\left(\begin{matrix}1 \\ x+3\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}13 \\ 3\end{matrix}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this combination?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This seems simple. Multiply the two last terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you will get 13/3x+9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now the problem we have is that when we add we need the same denomanator and we odn't since one is 3x+9 and one is 3x-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Si would say that you wld have to multiply the first term by (3x+9) and the second term by (3x-9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the denomanator becomes 9x^2-81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or simly we can write it as (3x-9)(3x+9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you get that so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so far so wait was the answer the first one you posted?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt post the final answer yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry i was confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am getting an ugly number wait a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thats fine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok this is what i got it may be the wrong answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(36(3x+9)+13(3x-9))\div(3x-9)(3x+9)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you would distribute and simplify and the answer you recieve is:\[(147x+207)\div \div(9x^2-81)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ignore the second division sign that was a mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you can factor out a 3 on the top and the bottom: \[3(49x+69)/3(3x^2-27)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then we cross out the threes andwe are left with: \[(49x+69)/(3x^2+27)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that i sthe answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says the answer is a solution set is that a solution set?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it might have to be 2 x's.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure someone told me that it is the domain and range of the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya it seems to me like the domain and range
