You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x/x-2 = 6/x-2
\n" ); document.write( "My work so far:
\n" ); document.write( "3x/x-2 - 6/x-2 =0
\n" ); document.write( "3x-6/x-2 =0
\n" ); document.write( "3•(x-2)/x-2 =0
\n" ); document.write( "3•(x-2)/(x-2)=0
\n" ); document.write( "[(x-2)'s cross out]
\n" ); document.write( "3=0
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "3x/x-2 = 6/x-2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by x-2
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "But that makes the denominator zero --> no solution
\n" ); document.write( "That's why you got 3 = 0 when you checked
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
