Solve the equation by using the LCD.
\n" ); document.write( "4/(x+1) = (2x+2)x
\n" ); document.write( "4/(x+1) = 2(x+1)/x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "LCD:: x(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by the LCD to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 2(x+1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "2x = (x+1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 2x +1 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x is either +-i or there is no Real Number solution.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "2x/(x+2) -4 = 6/x
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by x(x+2) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 - 4x(x+2) = 6(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 - 4x^2 - 8 = 6x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "-2x^2 - 6x -20 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 3x + 10 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Use the Quadratic formula to solve for \"x\":
