Your bracketing is wrong; should be (x+6)/x - 14/(3x - 8) = 0boxfresh said:(x+6 / x) - (14/3x - 8) = 0
Denis said:Hint:
(x+6) / x = 14 / (3x - 8)
Now criss-cross multiplication
boxfresh said:By solving [a quadratic equation I,] came to x=0 in both cases? Is this correct?
x = [-( -15) +/- sqrt(15^2 - 4(5)(-12)) ] / [2(5)] : go to bed with no dessert :twisted:mmm4444bot said:5x^2 - 15x - 12 = 0
x = [ -15 +/- sqrt(15^2 - 4(5)(-12)) ] / 2(5)
