three divided by the difference of x and 7 minus 2 divided by x plus 7 equals
3 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 49
what is x
:
Assume the problem is:
- =
:
x^2-49 is the difference of squares and can be factored
- =
:
Multiply by (x-7)(x+7), clears the denominators and you have:
3(x+7) - 2(x-7) = 3
:
3x + 21 - 2x + 14 = 3
:
3x - 2x + 35 = 3
:
x = 3 - 35
:
x = -32
