I have to find the value if X but how do I do it with a fraction ?
I have to find the value if X but how do I do it with a fraction ?
first of all you need to push the restrictions for x so x not can being never equal 4 and -7 because than these denominators will be equal zero and these fractions undefined
1/(x-4) = 2/(x+7) cross multiple and will get
x+7 = 2(x-4)
x+7=2x-8
x = 15
hope this helped
Hello,
if 2/6=10/30 then 230=610 (60=60). [cross products}
\(\dfrac{1}{x-4} = \dfrac{2}{x+7} \\\\
If \ x
eq 4\ and\ x
eq -7\ then \\\\
1*(x+7)=2*(x-4)\\\\
x+7=2x-8\\\\
x=15\\\\\)
