Question

What is the solution to the rational equation (x/2x-1) - (1/4) = (2/2x-1)?

a) x=2
b) x= 7/2
c) x=3
d) x=7/6

I think its c but Im not sure
c)x=

Answer 1

take lcm on left hand side and solve for x

Answer 2

how do i do that?

Answer 3

yu can confirm whether your answer is right or wrong by substituting the value of x on both sides of the equarion
if LHS=RHS,the answer is true

Answer 4

((4x)-(2x-1))/(4(2x-1))=2/(2x-1)
(2x+1)/(4(2x-1))=2/(2x-1)
now cancelling the common factor in denominator on both sides,we get
2x+1/4=2
2x+1=8
2x=7
x=7/2

Answer 5

thank you! I worked it out and its true :)
