Question

(x-6)/(6x-1) Someone wanna help me?

Answer 1

hey:)

Answer 2

how are you?

Answer 3

good.. so what do you need to do ?

Answer 4

ok but what about it ? nothing much to simplify

(1/6) - (35/(36x-6))

Answer 5

maybe you need domain ?

Answer 6

yep so the excluded value is given if you divide by zero
6x-1 = 0
find x from here..

Answer 7

the answer is 1/6 in fact but it is coincidence that it came the same as i wrote up there ..

Answer 8

yes .. you cant divide by zero .. if x = 1/6 you divide by zero
so we exclude 1/6 from our x values

Answer 9

how you divide two fractions ?

Answer 10

i mean the division of two fractions is like multiplying by reciprocal :

\[\frac{ a }{ b } \div \frac{ c }{ d } = \frac{ a }{ b } \times \frac{ d }{ c }\]

Answer 11

agree ?

Answer 12

we can eliminate (x+3) BUT BEFORE WE DO IT we have to say what the excluded values of x
and then eliminate

Answer 13

do you understand how i got the last line ?
can you tell what the excluded x values ?

Answer 14

i had 3x+9 so taking 3 out gives 3(x+3)

Answer 15

12x(x+3) = 0
for what x values does this equation hold?

Answer 16

no.. by hand

Answer 17

yes 0, -3

Answer 18

now you can eliminate (x+3) and get your simplified expression

Answer 19

yes!

Answer 20

yw :)

Answer 21

sure , it's enough ?

Answer 22

wait.. you flip the second one

Answer 23

ok ?

Answer 24
