Will medal! Solve: 6/(x-3)=3/x for x and determine if the solution is extraneous.
x = -2, extraneous x = -2, non-extraneous x = -3, non-extraneous x = -3, extraneous
x= -3 I'm not sure but I think it would non-extraneous
When you plug that in you would get -1=-1 so hence the solution is non-extranoeus right?
Could you help with this one too?
x = 3, non-extraneous x = 3, extraneous x = -3, extraneous x = -3, non-extraneous
Wait, what was the question? :o
Okay whoops
3/(x-3)=(x/x-3)-(3/2)
3/(x-3)=(x/x-3)-(3/2)
3/(x-3) - x/(x-3) = - (3/2) (3 - x) / (x - 3) = - (3/2) 3 - x = -3/2 (x-3) 3 - x = -(3/2)x + 9/2 6 - 2x = -3x + 9 x = 3
I think it would x = 3 would be extraneous? I'm not quite sure.
yup thats what i got
Thanks so much :D
