Question

Solve 2/(x) - 4/(x + 1) = 3

Answer 1

x = 1/3 or x = -2

Answer 2

how did you get that tho??

Answer 3

ok ,, first( 2 ( x+1 ) - 4x ) / x ( x+1)

Answer 4

do u get that ?

Answer 5

yea

Answer 6

you take a common denominator which is x ( x+1)

Answer 7

then ( 2 ( x+1 ) - 4x ) / x ( x+1) = 3

Answer 8

okay

Answer 9

do you get it this far ?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

ok then expand it to be (2x + 2 - 4x ) / x^2 + x = 3

Answer 12

then cross multiply we will get : 3x^2 + 3x = 2-2x

Answer 13

then 3x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0 then you factorize to get (3x-1)(x+2) = 0 which will get the answers x = 1/3 or x = -2

Answer 14

do you understand ? or still lost ?

Answer 15

yes i do a little

Answer 16

do u need more help ?

Answer 17

noo i'll try the other ones by my self thx
