?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry.. coming

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 12 }{ x+2 } + \frac{ 8 }{ x } = 4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

coming denominator of x(x+2) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay :\[\frac{ 12x+8x+16 }{ x(x+2) } = \frac{ 4x ^{2}+ 8}{ x(x+2) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i distributed the x into (x+2) = x^2 + 2x right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean yes you are right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its also +8x not just 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then:\[4x ^{2}-12x-16 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Must be 0..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factor out 4 first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay: x^2-3x-4 ---> (x-4)(x+1) x=4, -1 ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you I know where I went wrong.. i forgot the x for the 8 =.= silly mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you are correct..
