Solve 1/3x-5 - 5/x-2= 12
Is the equation:\[\frac{1}{3x-5} - \frac{5}{x-2} = 12\]
yes :)
Start by subtracting the two fractions as you would do a normal fraction, by cross multiplying.
(x-2)-(15x-30)
Great! That is the numerator and the denominator would be?
x=29/18 ??
1/(3x-5) - 5/(x-2) - 12//(3x-5)(x-2) = 0
A. x=34/9 B. x=-29/18 C. x=-34/9 D. x=29/18
((X-2)-5(3x-5)-12)/(3x-5)(x-2)=0
It goes like this: \[\frac{(x-2)-(15x-25)}{(3x-5)(x-2)} = 12\] \[\frac{x-2-15x+25}{(3x-5)(x-2)} = 12\] \[\frac{-14x+23}{(3x-5)(x-2)} = 12\] \[-14x+23 = 12(3x-5)(x-2)\] Can you solve further?
Is the answer D?
Sorry 12 instead of 0 ((X-2)-5(3x-5)-12)/(3x-5)(x-2)=12
The answer does not match any of the four given choices. Check the question again?
@Chad123 pls is it D???
@jessiegonzales if all you care about is the answer, then you should learn the easiest way
Plug in each of your answer choices until one of them is correct
And that works for every question...
