How Do I solve this

OpenStudy (waheguru):

OpenStudy (freckles):

What do you mean without canceling out?

OpenStudy (waheguru):

Can you show how to solve this

OpenStudy (freckles):

I'm not really sure what that means here? You mean without clearing the denominators?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get the number on one side of the = and the others on the other side so that you can manipulate them directly.

OpenStudy (freckles):

I would first clear the denominators by multiplying both sides by (x-7)

OpenStudy (waheguru):

CAn you show me please I tried many times

OpenStudy (freckles):

Multiply the 2 terms on the left by (x-7) And Multiply the 1 term on the right by (x-7)

OpenStudy (freckles):

What do you get after performing this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, no........

OpenStudy (freckles):

What @estudier ?

OpenStudy (waheguru):

x^2-7x+6x-42=7x-49 right?

OpenStudy (waheguru):

\[x^2-7x+6x-42=7x-49 \]

OpenStudy (freckles):

Where does that x^2 come from?
