Question

solve the following equation: (x - 3) /x = (x - 3) / (x - 6)

Answer 1

\[\frac{x-3}{x}=\frac{x-3}{x-3}\]? unlikely

Answer 2

cross multiply [x-3][x-6] and [x][x-3]
expand the equations.
cancel like terms
and simplify
youll get x=7/3

Answer 3

@unknown&confused do what i said. then youll get it.

Answer 4

@unknown&confused the answer is x=3, i miss typed it.

Answer 5

This is basically a cross multiplication x(x-3) = (x-6)(x-6)
= x^2 - 3x = X^2 - 9x + 18
the X^2's on both sides cancel and rearranging the equation will give you 18-6x = 0
Thus, x = 3
Njoy!

Answer 6

no i don't think so even using the cross multiply method

\[(x-3)(x-6)=x(x-3)\]
\[x^2-9x+18=x^2-3\]
\[-9x+18=-3\]
\[-9x=-27\]
\[x=3\] how do you like that, forgot that the numerator could be zero!!

Answer 7

thanks everyone really appreciate the help

Answer 8

Yeah! many ways to lead to the same destination! Ultimately x is 3!
