Question

how do you factor (3x-10)/(x+6)

Answer 1

its already factored...

Answer 2

Correct. There's nothing to factor. Each binomial is already completely factored.

Answer 3

if f(x)=2 what points of x are on the graph of f(x) when f(x)=(x+2)/(x-6) = 2

Answer 4

Solve for x:

\( \dfrac{x + 2}{x - 6} = 2 \)

Answer 5

I do not understand the steps on how you would solve that.

Answer 6

First, multiply both sides by x - 6, to get rid of the denominator.

Answer 7

got it x=14

Answer 8

\( (x - 6) \dfrac{x + 2}{x - 6} = 2(x - 6)\)

\( \cancel{(x - 6)} \dfrac{x + 2}{\cancel{x - 6}} = 2(x - 6)\)

\(x + 2 = 2x - 12 \)

\(x = 14\)

You need one more step. You have to check the solution in the original problem to make sure the solution will not cause a zero in the denominator.
