Question 150784: 3x/x-1 + 6x-9/x-1 -6 = 0 solve for x: 3x/x-1 + 6x-9/x-1 -6 = 0 solve for x
Answer by vleith(964) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given (3x)/(x-1) + (6x-9)/(x-1) -6 = 0
(3x)/(x-1) + (6x-9)/(x-1) -6(x-1)/(x-1) = 0
(3x + 6x-9-6x+6)/(x-1) = 0
(3x + 6x-9-6x+6) = 0
3x -3 = 0
3x = 3
x = 1
Check your answer by subbing 1 into the original equation.
Whooops! x = 1 makes the denominator 0. So there is no answer
