- This is my original question, i just want to know what i am missing here
find ##x## given;
##\frac {3}{2x+2}##+##\frac {4}{2x+2}##=##\frac {4x-3}{-2x-2}##
- Relevant Equations
- algebra addition and subtraction
##\frac {7}{2x+2}=\frac {4x-3}{-2x-2}##
##-7(2x+2)=(4x-3)(2x+2)##
##x^2+2x+1=0##
##x=1## or ##x=-1##
can we also have;
##-7=4x-3## can the ##2x+2## cancel out? i am a bit mixed up on this very simple problem...and why am i getting false on my ti nsipre...
