Question

Solve the equation a/a^2-64+3/a-8=2/a+8

Answer 1

−72a^2+4a=8a^2+2a(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−72a2+4a−(8a^2+2a)=8a^2+2a−(8a^2+2a)(Subtract 8a^2+2a from both sides)

Answer 2

i doubt it

Answer 3

−80a^2+2a=0
Factor that.

Answer 4

@satellite73 then maybe you should do it.

Answer 5

\[\frac{a}{a^2-64}+\frac{3}{a-8}=\frac{2}{a+8}\] is my guess

Answer 6

course @pooja195 i could be wrong

Answer 7

\[\huge~\rm~\frac{ a }{ a }^2-64+\frac{ 3 }{ a-8}=\frac{ 2 }{ a+8 }\]
I was thinking this :/
(sorry for the attitude lol)

Answer 8

@maysum can you draw to verify?

Answer 9

my guess would be like @satellite73 difference of squares to be applied

Answer 10

I think I am supposed to find two answers at the end, negative and positive?

Answer 11

before we can get to the end can you rewrite the problem in the draw or using parenthesis?
