Question

Teacher wont help me. Someone please explain how to do this!
Solve for X:
2-4/x^2=-2/x

Answer 1

Those are fractions!

Answer 2

\[2-\frac{4}{x^2}=-\frac{2}{x}\] like that?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

since \(x\) cannot be zero, a good first step is to multiply both sides by \(x^2\) and rewrite as
\[2x^2-4=-2x\]

Answer 5

then add \(2x\) to both sides and get
\[2x^2+2x-4=0\] divide by 2 to get
\[x^2+x-2=0\] and then either factor or use the quadratic formula

Answer 6

if you don't understand any step let me know
