\[\large \frac{-x}{2}+\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{-4}{x}\]like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes c:

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since we know \(x\neq 0\) you are free to multiply both sides by \(2x\) to clear the stupid fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large2x( \frac{-x}{2}+\frac{1}{2x})=2x(\frac{-4}{x})\] is the first step, then start cancelling what you can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large -x^2+1=-8\] is the first step you good from there?

so x=3?
