Question 121728: Show the steps that you would take to solve the following algebraically:
5- 2\X-6= 10-2x\X-6
b) What potential solution did you obtain? Explain why this is this not a solution.

a.)Original equation.
Multiply both sides by (X-6).
Distribute.
Simplify both sides.


b.) X=6 cannot be a solution because in your original equation (X-6) is in the denominator.
The expression would become undefined if X=6, the denominator would equal zero.
