Question

can someone take me through this equation and why the answer is (none):
3r+1/r+3 +2 = 5r-2/r+3

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 3r+1 }{ r+3 } + 2 = \frac{ 5r-2 }{ r+3 }\]

Answer 2

first...multiply ALL terms by r+3 to get rid of the denominator

what do you get?

Answer 3

5r+7=5r-2 > 5r-5r=-2+7 is 5r-5r =r?

Answer 4

5r - 5r is 0

Answer 5

so whenever r or x or whatever they are looking for are 0 then there is no answer for the equation?

Answer 6

yup

Answer 7

thank you very much!

Answer 8
