Question 370526: I am having difficulty solving this rationa expression and simplfing it can someone help? Solve x-2/x-6-4/x=24/x^2-6x Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve (x-2)/(x-6)-(4/x) =24/(x^2-6x)
----
Multiply thru by x(x-6) to get:
---
x(x-2) - 4(x-6) = 24
----
x^2-2x-4x+24 = 24
----------------
x^2-6x = 0
---
x(x-6) = 0
x = 0 or x = 6.
----
But x cannot be 0 and x cannot be 6
because "x" and "x-6" are denominators
in the original problem.
---
Therefore no solution.
