Algebra.Com's Answer #156127 by profemmanuel2q@yahoo.com(15)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1/9+1/3x and all of this is over x/9-1/x \n" ); document.write( "When you are solving this, it is so easy but you need to think \n" ); document.write( "First of all take both 1/9+1/3x and x/9-1/x, \n" ); document.write( "Simplify 1/9+1/3x by finding the LCM, that is , 9x \n" ); document.write( "So we have (x + 3)/9x \n" ); document.write( "The second thing that you will do is that, solve x/9-1/x by finding the LCM and the LCM is 9x, so we have (x^2 - 9)/ 9x. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore (x + 3)/9x divided by (x^2 - 9)/ 9x \n" ); document.write( "When you solve it 9x of the numerator will cancell the 9x of the denominator \n" ); document.write( "So we will get (x + 3)/(x^2 - 9). \n" ); document.write( "Factorise (x^2 - 9) so will get (x +3)(x -3) \n" ); document.write( "So we have (x + 3)/(x +3)(x -3), Cancel each side by (x +3) \n" ); document.write( "Hence, the final answer is 1/ (x - 3). \n" ); document.write( " |
