[tex]\frac{x+1}{x-2}-\frac{x-3}{x+2}=0[/tex]


Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]   or 0.5 in decimal form

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is [tex]\frac{x+1}{x-2}-\frac{x-3}{x+2}=0[/tex]

Find Least Common Multiplier (LCM) of the denominators [tex]x-2,\:x+2[/tex]

This is [tex](x-2)(x+2)[/tex]   the product of the two denominators

Multiply entire equation by this LCM: [tex](x-2)(x+2)[/tex]

We get

[tex]\frac{x+1}{x-2}\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)-\frac{x-3}{x+2}\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)=0\cdot \left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)[/tex]

Simplify the first term

[tex]\frac{x+1}{x-2}\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)[/tex]  [tex]=\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)[/tex]

Simplify the second term

[tex]-\frac{x-3}{x+2}\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right) =\quad -\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)[/tex]

RHS is [tex]0[/tex]

Therefore we get

[tex]\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)-\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)=0[/tex]

Expand the first term using the FOIL method [tex](x+a) (x + b) = x^2 + ax + bx + ab[/tex]

Here a = 1, b = 2. So [tex](x+1)(x+2) = x^2 + 2x + 1x + (1)(2) = x^2 + 3x + 2[/tex]

[tex]\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)[/tex][tex]=x^2+3x+2[/tex]  

Expanding [tex]-\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)[/tex] gives us [tex]-x^2 + 5x - 6[/tex]

(Use the FOIL method: [tex](x+b) (x + a) = x^2 + ax + bx + ab[/tex]  Here a = -2, b = -3. Note there is a negative sign before the entire expression)

So the original expression is

[tex]x^2+3x+2-x^2+5x-6 = 0[/tex]

Collecting like terms

[tex]x^2-x^2 + 3x +5x + 2 - 6[/tex] [tex]= 8x -4[/tex] = [tex]0[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides

[tex]8x-4+4=0+4[/tex]

[tex]8x=4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8:

[tex]\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]   or [tex]0.5[/tex] in decimal
