Math Problem Statement

Solve the fractional equations step-by-step and find the value of x for each.

Solution

Let’s solve each equation step by step.

  1. First equation:
    x3=9\frac{x}{3} = 9
    Multiply both sides by 3:
    x=27x = 27

  2. Second equation:
    x35=9\frac{x - 3}{5} = 9
    Multiply both sides by 5:
    x3=45x - 3 = 45
    Add 3 to both sides:
    x=48x = 48

  3. Third equation:
    2x82=1\frac{2x - 8}{2} = -1
    Simplify the left side:
    x4=1x - 4 = -1
    Add 4 to both sides:
    x=3x = 3

  4. Fourth equation:
    x+26=x8\frac{x + 2}{6} = x - 8
    Multiply both sides by 6:
    x+2=6(x8)x + 2 = 6(x - 8)
    Expand:
    x+2=6x48x + 2 = 6x - 48
    Subtract xx from both sides:
    2=5x482 = 5x - 48
    Add 48 to both sides:
    50=5x50 = 5x
    Divide by 5:
    x=10x = 10

  5. Fifth equation:
    x72x+4=1\frac{x - 7}{2x + 4} = 1
    Multiply both sides by 2x+42x + 4:
    x7=2x+4x - 7 = 2x + 4
    Subtract xx from both sides:
    7=x+4-7 = x + 4
    Subtract 4 from both sides:
    x=11x = -11

  6. Sixth equation:
    6x+5=3x7\frac{6}{x + 5} = \frac{-3}{x - 7}
    Cross-multiply:
    6(x7)=3(x+5)6(x - 7) = -3(x + 5)
    Expand:
    6x42=3x156x - 42 = -3x - 15
    Add 3x3x to both sides:
    9x42=159x - 42 = -15
    Add 42 to both sides:
    9x=279x = 27
    Divide by 9:
    x=3x = 3

Final Answers:

  1. x=27x = 27
  2. x=48x = 48
  3. x=3x = 3
  4. x=10x = 10
  5. x=11x = -11
  6. x=3x = 3
