Solve.
start fraction 3 over x end fraction plus start fraction 5 over x end fraction equals negative 4
A. x equals negative one-half
B. x equals 2
C. x equals one-half
D. x equals negative 2
A. x equals negative one-half
Explanation:
Combining the two fractions using a common denominator gives:
start fraction 8 over x end fraction = -4
Multiplying both sides by x gives:
8 = -4x
Dividing both sides by -4 gives:
x = -2
But we must check for extraneous solutions, which means checking if x = -2 makes any of the denominators zero. Since neither fraction has a denominator of x + 2, this solution is not extraneous.
Therefore, the answer is x = -1/2.
Solve.
