Question

x+2/6 = 2/x-1 pleaseeeee help me !

Answer 1

Is this the problem:
\[\frac{x + 2}{6} = \frac{2}{x - 1}\]

Answer 2

yess

Answer 3

Just cross multiply.
\[(x + 2)(x - 1) = 2(6)\]
\[(x + 2)(x - 1) = 12\]
\[x^{2} + x - 2 = 12\]
\[x^{2} + x - 14 = 0\]
Can you solve the quadratic now?

Answer 4

no i forgot how to do that

Answer 5

Just solve using the quadratic formula:
\[x = \frac{-b ± \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}\]
Where:
a = 1
b = 1
c = -14

Answer 6

i learned it an easier way ,

Answer 7

what 2 #'s multpliy to 1 and add up to 14?

Answer 8

That's why we can't do that. There aren't any numbers that can work like that.

Answer 9

ohhhh got it, well we haven't learned that formula so i will leave it like that

Answer 10

Okay, complete the square?
x^2+x−14=0

x^2+x=14

x^2+x+0.25=14+0.25

x+0.5=±3.77

Can you solve from here?

Answer 11

Arte you sure you haven't learned any of this stuff?
