You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4x+1=3/x
First, set the equation equal to zero by getting all of the terms to one side of the equation:
x(4x+1)=(x)(3/x)
4x^2+x=3
4x^2+x-3=0
.
Factor:
(4x - 3)(x + 1)=0
Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:
4x-3=0
4x=3
x=3/4
.
x+1=0
x=-1
.
Check each value by plugging it back into the original equation:
4x+1=3/x
4(3/4) + 1 = 43/(3/4)
3+1=4
4=4 Checks out.
.
4x+1=3/x
4(-1) + 1 = 3/(-1)
-4+1=-3
-3=-3 This also checks out.
