\[((4/x)-4)/(2+(1/x))\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I just need the steps on how to solve this eq
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is just about making the denominator equal..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh should i multiply it by a common factor
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):
can i multiply it by x for both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Multiply x with numerator and denominator//
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Unfortunately there are not both sides but there are numerator and denominator.. :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but can i multiply the x with the coefficients?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\large \frac{x(\frac{4}{x} -4)}{x(2 + \frac{1}{x})}\]

Distribute x inside the brackets.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just distribute x inside..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Tell me what is it:
\[x(\frac{4}{x} - 4) = ??\]

4(1-x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(4(1-x))/(2x+1)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And here you stop..
We can't go further here to simplify it, so this must be your answer.. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you very much
