Question

please help and explain: solve for x: 4/x-3+5/x+3=6x^2-9

Answer 1

You'll have to try again. Remember the convention, "Order of Operations".

Do you mean \(\dfrac{6}{x^{2} - 9}\) on the right-hand side?

Your task is to add the fractions. Find the Least Common Denominator and proceed!

Answer 2

i still dont get it

Answer 3

You must first answer the clarifying question. What did you mean on the right hand side?

Practice. Please add these: 1/3 + 1/2 = ???

Demonstrate your methods.

Answer 4

2.5

Answer 5

2.5 what? Is that the answer to the right-hand side? Is that the METHOD used to add the fractions? Please make an effort to communicate better.

1/3 + 1/2 is nowhere near 2.5. Please demonstrate your METHOD to obtain your answer. What did you do first? What did you do second? What was next...?

Answer 6

my bad 2/5

Answer 7

Also incorrect. Until you show your METHOD, no one can help you.

Additional Practice: Add these -- 1 Cat + 1 Dog = ???

Seriously. It's not a joke.

Answer 8

2

Answer 9

You added a cat and a dog and managed to get the number 2? Does that make any sense to you at all? Where did the dog and cat go?

Answer 10

ok whatever my grandma was first my mom was second and I am third

Answer 11

In other words, you're just not serious about learning this part of mathematics. Why did you bother to type in the problem?

Answer 12

so you would ask

Answer 13

I just dont understand can you please explain it little bit better sorry

Answer 14

You must answer my question. Have you EVER successfully added two fractions with unlike denominators?

Add: 1 dog + 1 cat = ??

The correct answer is: "That's silly. You can't add dogs and cats."

Add: 1/3 + 1/2 = ??

A good first answer might be, "That's silly. How can you add thirds to halves"

A good second answer might be, "I wonder of I can change them so that the denominators would be the same? Then I COULD add them. Numbers aren't the same as household pets. With numbers, you have a little latitude."

A good third answer might be: "The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Let's change the problem to 6ths. Add: 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6. Done!"

Answer 15

oh ok
