determine the solution set of rational equation x-6/3=9/x​

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

x−

3

6

=

x

9

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x, the least common multiple of 3,x.

3xx−x×6=3×9

Multiply x and x to get x

2

.

3x

−x×6=3×9

Multiply 3 and 9 to get 27.

Subtract 27 from both sides.

3x

−x×6−27=0

Multiply −1 and 6 to get −6.

3x

−6x−27=0

This equation is in standard form: ax
