Question

Solving equations: 2/x-3=8

Answer 1

Is it \[\frac{2}{x-3}=8\]or \[\frac{2}{x}-3=8\]

Answer 2

the first one

Answer 3

Ok, multiply both sides by x-3 to get rid of the fraction bar. What does that leave you with?

Answer 4

2=8(x-3)?

Answer 5

Exactly...now distribute the 8...

Answer 6

2=8x-24
which goes to
26=8x
divide both sides by 8
x=3.25?
