Equation:
2/x - 3 = 4/x + 4
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2/x - 3 = 4/x + 4
2/x + - 3 = 4/x + 4
Multiply all terms by x and cancel:
2 + −3x = 4 + 4x
−3x + 2 = 4x + 4 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
−3x + 2 − 4x = 4x + 4 − 4x (Subtract 4x from both sides)
−7x + 2 = 4
−7x + 2 − 2 = 4 − 2 (Subtract 2 from both sides)
−7x = 2
-7x/ -7 = 2/ -7
x = -2/7
Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)
x = -2/7 (Works in Original Equation)
Therefore, your answer is :
2/x - 3 = 4/x + 4
x = -2/7
Decimal: x = 0.28571
So, Letter Choice, (D), would be the best answer to your Equation: -2
Hope that helps!!!! : )
