Question

George tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation 4/5 + 3/x+1/2 becomes unsolvable. George explains, "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero." Demonstrate to George how the equation is still solvable and explain your reasoning.

Answer 3

4/5 + 3/x + 1/2
- so this wan being one equation ? so than you need making equal by zero or by anything
- suppose by zero

4/5 +3/x + 1/2 = 0 - so the first restriction for x is x=0 because than the fraction 3/x will be undefined
- common denominator will be 10x so than multiplie first numerator by 2x ,second by 10 and 3rd by 5x and will get

8x +30 + 5x = 0
13x +30 =0
13x = -30

x = -30/13

hope this is understandably
