Question 595851: Please advise: Why wouldn't X=6 be a solution?
2b. 4-x/(x-2) = (-2)/(x-2)
x = - 6
x = 6
(4-x)/(x-2) = (-2)/(x-2)
(4-6)/(6-2) = (-2)/(6-2)
(-1)/(2-1) = (-2)/4
(-1)/2 = (-1)/(2-1)

Hello,
2b. 4-x/(x-2) = (-2)/(x-2)
x = - 6
x = 6
(4-x)/(x-2) = (-2)/(x-2)
(4-6)/(6-2) = (-2)/(6-2)
(-1)/(2-1) = (-2)/4
(-1)/2 = (-1)/(2-1)

x=6 This is not a solution
This is the correct way:
2b. 4-x/(x-2) = (-2)/(x-2)
x = - 6
x = 6
(4-x)/(x-2) = (-2)/(x-2)
(4-6)/(6-2) = (-2)/(6-2)
(-2)/(4) = (-2)/4
(-1)/2 = (-1)/(2)
-1/2=-1/2 Therefore:
x=6 This is a solution
