I'm still getting tripped up on questions like this:
x / 2x - 4 - 2 = 1 / x - 2
The LCD is 2x - 4, correct?
so I then get x - 4x + 8 = x - 2
Well then I end up with x= 10 / 4. The answer is no solution because one of the denominators would be 0, but 10/4 doesn't make either 0 that I can see. I think I'm totally lost.
Okay when you find out the LCD you have to figure out what would make each denominator the LCD and multiply that # by the top eliminating the denominators right????
