\[0 = \frac{ x-3 }{ x-6 }\]

OpenStudy (heyitszia1):

Solve for x

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Since the denominator cannot be equal to 0 you can assume x-3=0

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

If the numerator is set to 0, then the whole fraction will equal to 0 0/x = 0 If the denominator is set to 0, then the whole fraction will equal 'undefined' x/0 = undefined the solution to your question is whatever you get when you set the numerator equal to 0

OpenStudy (heyitszia1):

So how would I show my work for that equation?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

You could technically do this to show work \[0\times(x-6) = \frac{ x-3 }{ x-6 }\times(x-6)\]

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Notice that this becomes \[0=x-3\]

Thanks @sweetburger @TheSmartOne
