Question

a) Write the value of the variable that make the denominator zero
b) Keeping the restrictions in mind, solve the equation

(x-2/2x)+1 = x+1/x

Answer 1

a) x = 0
b) x= 2

Answer 2

the answer in the book is x=0 x=4

Answer 3

a) is obvious but im having trouble finding b because my answer was zero for b

Answer 4

\[\frac{x-2}{2x} + 1 = \frac{x+1}{x}\]

Answer 5

then you didnt respected the math rules when you copied the equation.

is it -2/(2x) or (-2/2)*x

Answer 6

exactly how igb put it

Answer 7

@lgbasallote , ahh... Now we're getting somewhere

Answer 8

x= 4 indeed

Answer 9

idk how you could have taken it any other way...

Answer 10

you just multiply everything by 2x
\[x - 2 + 2x = 2(x+1)\]
\[3x - 2 = 2x + 2\]
\[3x - 2x = 2+2\]
\[x = 4\]

Answer 11

do you get that?

Answer 12

tell me if a step is unclear @dylanlamoreaux :)

Answer 13

if you multiply everything by 2x arent you going to get 2x^2 for the right side?

Answer 14

nope \[\frac{x+1}{\cancel x} \times 2\cancel x\]

Answer 15

x just cancels out

Answer 16

\[\frac{x+1}{x} \times 2x = 2(x+1)\]

Answer 17

oh got it

Answer 18

nice!!

Answer 19

cool thanks!
