find the roots of 6/x+x-3/4=2

a.3 and 8 c.-3 and -8
b.-3 and 8 d.-3 and -8​


Sagot :

The answer is a. 3 and 8.

Given the equation

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6}{x}+\frac{x-3}{4}=2[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]4x[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 4x\bigg(\frac{6}{x}+\frac{x-3}{4}=2\bigg)[/tex]

[tex]\implies 4(6)+x(x-3)=4(2x)[/tex]

[tex]\implies 24+x^2-3x=8x[/tex]

With some simplification and rearranging, we have

[tex]x^2-11x+24=0[/tex]

The factors of 24 that has a sum of -11 is -8 and -3, so, it can be factored as

[tex](x-8)(x-3)=0[/tex]

Which implies that

[tex]\begin{array}{c|c} x-8=0 & x-3=0\\ \boxed{x=8}&\boxed{x=3} \end{array}[/tex]

Thus, the roots are 3 and 8.
