Question 522882: Can u please help me solve the following...
x/x-3 = 3/x-3 + 9
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x/(x-3) = 3/(x-3) + 9

x = 3+9(x-3)

x=3+9x-27

x=9x-24

x-9x=-24

-8x=-24

x=(-24)/(-8)

x=3


So the possible solution is x = 3, but this causes a division by zero error.


So there are no solutions.
