Question

which value of x is a solution of 5/x = x=13/6

A) -2 B) -3 C) -10 D) -15

Answer 1

too many equal signs are present...

Answer 2

o sorry i meant x+13/6

Answer 3

5/x = (x+13)/6

5*6 = x*(x+13)

30 = x^2 + 13x

0 = x^2 + 13x - 30

x^2 + 13x - 30 = 0

(x+15)(x-2) = 0

x + 15 = 0 or x -2 = 0

x = -15 or x = 2


So the solutions are x = -15 or x = 2
