Question

how would you solve this?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2x-4 }{ 24 }=\frac{ 39 }{ x+6 }\]

Answer 2

start with\[(x+6)(2x-4)=24\times 39\] and then solve the quadratic equation

Answer 3

so it would be \[2x ^{2}+2=936\] which would simplify into \[2x ^{2}=934\]but I dont know what to do about the \[2x ^{2}\]

Answer 4

@robtobey I don't understand..

Answer 5

@satellite73 please help

Answer 6

\[2x^2=934\\
\frac{2x^2}{2}=\frac{934}{2}\\
x^2=467\]
