1 Can Cross Multiplication Be Used To Solve This Problem Why Or Why Not HELP class=

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiplication can be used but not in the beginning. First x should be isolated.

[tex]3 +\frac{5}{x}=\frac{7}{x}\\\\[/tex]

Now subtract [tex]\frac{5}{x}[/tex] from both sides

[tex]3 = \frac{7}{x}-\frac{5}{x}\\\\3=\frac{7-5}{x}\\\\3=\frac{2}{x}[/tex]

In this stage, cross multiplication can be used.

[tex]\frac{3}{1}=\frac{2}{x}\\\\3*x=2*1\\\\x = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

x =0 and x =2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

as is no

but if you put an x under the 3 to make 3x/x

then you'd have 3x+5/x = 7/x

to make

3x^2 + 5x = 7x

this makes

3x^2 -2x =0

using the quadratic formula

answers

x =0 and x =2/3
