how would you solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@robtobey I don't understand..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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