## anonymous 5 years ago solve 3/x-2+1=-23+7x/(x-2)(x-3)

1. anonymous

are there any parenthesis in the first part or is it just x-2+1?

2. anonymous

yea that IS a bit confusing.... :P

3. anonymous

the way you write the question makes it a bit hard to understand

4. anonymous

5. anonymous

u need to space it out a bit that would make it easier to solve for both us and urself :)

6. anonymous

3 / x-2 +1 = -23+7 / (x-2) (x-3)

7. anonymous

ok

8. anonymous

im waiting on u to solve it

9. anonymous

Does it look like $3/(x-2)+1=-23+7x/(x-2)(x-3)$ ?

10. anonymous

$(3+x-2)(x-3)=-23(x-3)+7x$ $(1+x)(x-3)=-23x+69+7x$

11. anonymous

Now you can do the rest, can't you coreeta?

12. anonymous

can u solve x for me

13. anonymous

Well, that would be as follows $x-3+x^2-3x=-16x+69$

14. anonymous

$x^2+14x-72=0$ If I am not mistaken anywhere through out the solution

15. anonymous

Do you know how to solve quadratics equation?

16. anonymous

${{x = (31 -Sqrt[151])/12}, {x = (31 + Sqrt[151])/12}}$

17. anonymous

what is the values of x in this problem

18. anonymous

I think I have done it wrong somewhere. I mean some silly mistake It must be $3/x+7/(x-2)+15 = 0$

19. anonymous

$3/x = (23-15 x)/(x-2)$

20. anonymous

Now you got to cross multiply, and then solve the quadratic equation

21. anonymous

i dont no know to do that im homeskooled

22. anonymous

Which level you are currently in?

23. anonymous

im n 9th . can u plz find the valuse of x for me

24. anonymous

Do you just need the answers or you need to understand the steps?

25. anonymous

26. anonymous

Okay, then forget everything I did there. I did several mistakes. Actually its quite tough to type things here

27. anonymous

I am doing it on a piece of paper, and telling you the answer

28. anonymous

ok

29. anonymous

pi when you finish tell me if ur answer look anything like this x=-0.252 and x=1.585

30. anonymous

First coreeta, have a look at this, Does your equation looks like the one I have attached

31. anonymous

If so then your solutions are

32. anonymous

yes that is right

33. anonymous

and the another solution for x is

34. anonymous

These are the final answers and they are correct, (I am 100% sure)

35. anonymous

The solutions are $x = 1/12 (31-\sqrt(151))$ $x = 1/12 (31+\sqrt(151))$

36. anonymous

Is it okay coreeta?

37. anonymous

yes
