4/(x-2)+4/3=8/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ x+2 } +\frac{ 4 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 8 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*** \[\frac{4}{x-2}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Makes the denominators equal everywhere so: \[(\frac{ 4 }{ x-2 } x \frac{ 3 }{ 3 })+ (\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x \frac{ x-2 }{ x-2 })= (\frac{ 8 }{ 3 }x \frac{ x-2 }{ x-2 })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah x-2, sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 + 4x-8 = 8x-16 20 = 4x x = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/(x-2)=8/3-4/3 4/(x-2)=4/3 1/(x-2)=4/3 x-2=3/4 x=(3/4)+2 x=11/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanq dear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nitz How'd you get from the second, to the third step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/(x-2)+4/3=8/3 \[\frac{4}{x-2}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\] \[\frac{4}{x-2}=\frac{8}{3}-\frac{4}{3}\] \[\frac{4}{x-2}=\frac{4}{3}\] \[x-2=3,x=5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is not 4 lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry.....its 1/(x-2)=1/3 x-2=3 x=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

meant 4 is not 1 lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanq all
