Medal for you!!

Solve each proportion
8/x+9=2/x-3

Answer 1

So for this we need to do a number of steps the first is that we multiply by the LCD which is we multiply both by the common denominator which is (x+9)(x-3)

\[\frac{ 8 }{ (x+9) } = \frac{ 2 }{ (x-3) }\] \]

Answer 2

\[(x+9)(x-3)\frac{ 8 }{ (x+9) } = \frac{ 2 }{ (x-3) }*(x-3)(x+9)\]

now this gives us the following:

\[8(x-3) = 2(x+9)\]

Answer 3

I won't go any further than this but you have to distribute the 8 in the ( ) and the same for 2 ( )

then isolate x and solve.
