Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Solve the proportion x/ x^2 -2= 2/ 3x +4.. What is the value of x?

x = −2
x = −2 and x = 2
x = 1 and x = 4
x = 4

Answer 1

so the problem looks like

\[\frac{x}{x^2 - 2} = \frac{2}{3x + 4}\]

Answer 2

so you need to cross multiply

\[x(3x + 4) = 2(x^2 - 2)\]

distribute then solve for x

Answer 3

i dont know how with a prob like this

Answer 4

could you explain @campbell_st ?
