Question

The expression 3/x-1 - 6 will equal 0 when x equals which of the following?

Answer 1

There are several ways in which you can solve this problem

Answer 2

The equation is:
\[\frac{ 3 }{ x-1 } - 6\]

Answer 3

3/(x-1) -6=0
3/(x-1)=6
1/(x-1)=2
1/2=x-1
x=1+1/2
x=3/2=1.5

Answer 4

@SlightlyConfused
got it????

Answer 5

One way is to know that when two sides are equal - and if you operate both sides in the same way they still remain equal.

Answer 6

So we have:
\[\frac{ 3 }{ x-1 } -6 =0\]
I shall add 6 on both sides and they still remain equal

Answer 7

\[\frac{3 }{ x-1 } =6\]

Answer 8

Now i multiply both sides by (x-1)

Answer 9

3 = 6(x-1)
I guess you can solve for x after this
