1/x-1 - 3/x+2 = 1/4

solve to find x

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: (1)/(x-1)-(3)/(x+2)=(1)/(4)\n \n (x+2-3(x-1))/((x-1)(x+2))=(1)/(4)\n \n (x+2-3x+3)/((x-1)(x+2))=(1)/(4)\n \n (5-2x)/(x^2+x-2)=(1)/(4)\n \n 4(5-2x)=x^2+x-2\n \n 20-8x=x^2+x-2\n \n \boxed{x^2+9x-22=0}

Solvin this quadratic equation with Bhaskara formula we find:

x = -11 or x = 2
Answer 2
Answer: (1)/(x-1) - (3)/(x+2) = (1)/(4) \ /\cdot 4(x-1)(x+2)\n\n(4(x-1)(x+2))/(x-1) - (3\cdot 4(x-1)(x+2))/(x+2) = (4(x-1)(x+2))/(4)\n\n4(x+2)-12(x-1)=(x-1)(x+2)\n\n4x+8-12x+12=x^2+2x-x-2\n\n-8x+20=x^2+x-2\n\n-x^2-9x+22=0\ /\cdot(-1)\n\nx^2+9x-22=0\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ x^2+11x-2x-22=0\n\nx(x+11)-2(x+11)=0\n\n(x+11)(x-2)=0\ \ \ \ \ \Leftrightarrow\ \ \ (x+11=0\ \ \ or\ \ \ x-2=0)\n\nx=-11\ \ \ or\ \ \ x=2

Dustin says that FGH is an equilateral triangle because the sides appear to be the same length.Is his reasoning valid?Explain

Answers

His reasoning is not valid because they might actually appear to be equal to his sight, but should he measure them they might not exactly be.

So he just can't look at it and conclude. He can say it is equilateral if each angles measures 60 degrees.
