Solution

The uploaded document contains four mathematical problems related to solving equations and inequalities. Let's solve each one step by step.


Exercice 1

Solve the equation: 7x+2=32x1\frac{7}{x+2} = \frac{3}{2x-1}

Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions: 7(2x1)=3(x+2)7(2x - 1) = 3(x + 2)

Expand and simplify: 14x7=3x+614x - 7 = 3x + 6

Bring all terms involving xx to one side and constants to the other: 14x3x=6+714x - 3x = 6 + 7 11x=1311x = 13

Solve for xx: x=1311x = \frac{13}{11}


Exercice 2

Solve the inequality: (2x+6)(x4)2(x+7)2(2x + 6)(x - 4) \geq 2(x + 7)^2

Expand both sides: (2x+6)(x4)=2x28x+6x24=2x22x24(2x + 6)(x - 4) = 2x^2 - 8x + 6x - 24 = 2x^2 - 2x - 24 2(x+7)2=2(x2+14x+49)=2x2+28x+982(x + 7)^2 = 2(x^2 + 14x + 49) = 2x^2 + 28x + 98

The inequality becomes: 2x22x242x2+28x+982x^2 - 2x - 24 \geq 2x^2 + 28x + 98

Simplify by canceling 2x22x^2 and rearranging: 2x2428x+98-2x - 24 \geq 28x + 98 2x28x98+24-2x - 28x \geq 98 + 24 30x122-30x \geq 122

Solve for xx (reverse inequality because dividing by negative): x12230=6115x \leq -\frac{122}{30} = -\frac{61}{15}


Exercice 3

Solve the equation: 9x216(6x8)(x+3)=09x^2 - 16 - (6x - 8)(x + 3) = 0

Expand (6x8)(x+3)(6x - 8)(x + 3): (6x8)(x+3)=6x2+18x8x24=6x2+10x24(6x - 8)(x + 3) = 6x^2 + 18x - 8x - 24 = 6x^2 + 10x - 24

Substitute into the equation: 9x216(6x2+10x24)=09x^2 - 16 - (6x^2 + 10x - 24) = 0

Simplify: 9x2166x210x+24=09x^2 - 16 - 6x^2 - 10x + 24 = 0 3x210x+8=03x^2 - 10x + 8 = 0

Factorize or use the quadratic formula: x=(10)±(10)24(3)(8)2(3)x = \frac{-(-10) \pm \sqrt{(-10)^2 - 4(3)(8)}}{2(3)} x=10±100966x = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 96}}{6} x=10±26x = \frac{10 \pm 2}{6}

Solve: x=126=2orx=86=43x = \frac{12}{6} = 2 \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}


Exercice 4

Solve the equation: 6x21(x8)(2x+1)=3\frac{6x^2 - 1}{(-x - 8)(2x + 1)} = -3

Cross-multiply: 6x21=3(x8)(2x+1)6x^2 - 1 = -3(-x - 8)(2x + 1)

Expand (x8)(2x+1)(-x - 8)(2x + 1): (x8)(2x+1)=2x2x16x8=2x217x8(-x - 8)(2x + 1) = -2x^2 - x - 16x - 8 = -2x^2 - 17x - 8

Substitute: 6x21=3(2x217x8)6x^2 - 1 = -3(-2x^2 - 17x - 8) 6x21=6x2+51x+246x^2 - 1 = 6x^2 + 51x + 24

Simplify: 1=51x+24-1 = 51x + 24 51x=2551x = -25 x=2551x = -\frac{25}{51}
