I was asking if I was right when I solved 2=1/x+4+2. I got x = -1/4. Was I correct or not?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is this your question?
\[2 = \frac{1}{x+4} + 2\]
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@waterineyes, yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then 2 and 2 will simply get cancelled..
You are left with:
\[0 = \frac{1}{x+4}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So I was correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I never said that..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okayyy...

Look for your question once again..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You must be kidding..
Your question should be:
\[2 = \frac{1}{x} + 4 + 2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah, that was it. I screwed up. After all, nobody is perfect, eh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@jhonyy9 was right then..
