Question

Solve the equation and write the values of the variable that make the denominator zero.
(3/x)=((15/8x)+3)

Answer 1

@amistre64

Answer 2

well, what do we have in the denominators?

Answer 3

x and 8x and 1. so im thinking multiply 15/8x by just 1, and then do i multiply 3 or 3/x by 8?

Answer 4

just multiply thru the whole thing by 8x to solve for x

and the zeros for the denominators are when x or 8x equal zero

Answer 5

8x [(3/x)=((15/8x)+3)]

3(8)=15+3(8x)

Answer 6

im confused okay now i have ((24x/8x) = (144x/72x)) should i divide it all by 8 or 8x now???

Answer 7

Whats the problem ?
Start again ??
May I answer you ???

Answer 8

Yeah sure. The problem is (3/x)=((15/8x)+3) and i've multiplied it all by 8x so now I have ((24x/8x)=(120x/64x) + (24x/8x))

Answer 9

I want to know what I should do from this point

Answer 10

Look :
If we have :
3/x=15/8x+3
*8x
we have :
24x/x=15+24x
and have :
23x=15+24x
I think it s right :)

Answer 11

Could you explain why you did that? I know my end product is going to "x=(3/8)". Will what you gave me produce that?

Answer 12

OK !
Look :
8x * 3/x = ?

Answer 13

24x/8x

Answer 14

No !
Your fall was in there :)
we multiplied 8x just in 3 not in x :)
x is Denominator there :)
Got it ?
Look :
2 * 1/2 = 2*1/2 not 2*1/2*2
OK ?:)

Answer 15

@rrey :Got it ?:)

Answer 16

Why wouldn't I multiply the denominator? If I do something to the top I have to do it to the bottom too, don't I?

Answer 17

I said for u look if we do that think u said have :
2 * 1/2 = 2*1/2 not 2*1/2*2
Got ?:)

Answer 18

@rrey : ????

Answer 19

Oh right.

Answer 20

Got it ?:)

Answer 21
