Would I get the same answer with 12/3x-2+5/x+4=1? Answer=NO!
12/3x-2+5/x+4=0
4/x-2+5/x+4=0
4/x+5/x=2-4
9/x=-2
-2x=9
x=9/-2
x=-4.5 Answer.
--------------------------------------------------
12/(3x-2)+5/(x+4)=1
[12(X+4)+5(3X-2)/(3X-2)(X+4)=1
(12X+48+15X-10)=(3X-2)(X+4
27X+38=3X^2+10X-8
3X^2+10X-27X-8+38=0
3X^2-17X+30=0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
X=(17+-SQRT[-17^2-4*3*30])/2*3
X=(17+-SQRT[289-360])/6
X=(17+-SQRT-71)/6
X=(17+-8.426i)/6
X=17/6+-8.426i/6
X=2.833+-1.4i ANSWERS.
