Solution

Let's go through each of the equations in the image step by step and solve them. Here’s the content as it appears in the image:

1) 5x+3=3x+2-5x + 3 = -3x + 2

2) (4x+6)(37x)=0(4x + 6)(3 - 7x) = 0

3) (3x+1)(16x)=0(3x + 1)(1 - 6x) = 0

4) 5x24x=05x^2 - 4x = 0

5) x29=16x^2 - 9 = 16

6) (x+2)2=9(x + 2)^2 = 9

7) x+3x3=x3x+3\frac{x+3}{x-3} = \frac{x-3}{x+3}

8) x+3x3=22x\frac{x+3}{x-3} = \frac{2}{2 - x}


Solutions:

1) 5x+3=3x+2-5x + 3 = -3x + 2

Move all the terms involving xx to one side and constants to the other: 5x+3+3x=2-5x + 3 + 3x = 2 2x+3=2-2x + 3 = 2 Subtract 3 from both sides: 2x=1-2x = -1 Divide by 2-2: x=12x = \frac{1}{2}


2) (4x+6)(37x)=0(4x + 6)(3 - 7x) = 0

This is a product of two terms equal to zero, so either: 4x+6=0or37x=04x + 6 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 3 - 7x = 0 Solve each equation:

  1. 4x+6=04x + 6 = 0: 4x=6x=324x = -6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{3}{2}
  2. 37x=03 - 7x = 0: 7x=3x=377x = 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{3}{7}

Thus, x=32x = -\frac{3}{2} or x=37x = \frac{3}{7}.


3) (3x+1)(16x)=0(3x + 1)(1 - 6x) = 0

Again, set each factor to zero: 3x+1=0or16x=03x + 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 1 - 6x = 0 Solve each equation:

  1. 3x+1=03x + 1 = 0: 3x=1x=133x = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{1}{3}
  2. 16x=01 - 6x = 0: 6x=1x=166x = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{1}{6}

Thus, x=13x = -\frac{1}{3} or x=16x = \frac{1}{6}.


4) 5x24x=05x^2 - 4x = 0

Factor out xx: x(5x4)=0x(5x - 4) = 0 So, either: x=0or5x4=0x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 5x - 4 = 0 Solve for xx: 5x=4x=455x = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{4}{5}

Thus, x=0x = 0 or x=45x = \frac{4}{5}.


5) x29=16x^2 - 9 = 16

Add 9 to both sides: x2=25x^2 = 25 Take the square root of both sides: x=±5x = \pm 5

Thus, x=5x = 5 or x=5x = -5.


6) (x+2)2=9(x + 2)^2 = 9

Take the square root of both sides: x+2=±3x + 2 = \pm 3 Solve for xx:

  1. x+2=3x + 2 = 3 gives x=1x = 1
  2. x+2=3x + 2 = -3 gives x=5x = -5

Thus, x=1x = 1 or x=5x = -5.


7) x+3x3=x3x+3\frac{x+3}{x-3} = \frac{x-3}{x+3}

Cross-multiply: (x+3)2=(x3)2(x+3)^2 = (x-3)^2 Expand both sides: x2+6x+9=x26x+9x^2 + 6x + 9 = x^2 - 6x + 9 Simplify: 6x=6x6x = -6x This gives: 12x=0x=012x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 0

Thus, x=0x = 0.


8) x+3x3=22x\frac{x+3}{x-3} = \frac{2}{2 - x}

Cross-multiply: (x+3)(2x)=2(x3)(x+3)(2-x) = 2(x-3) Expand both sides: 2x+6x23x=2x62x + 6 - x^2 - 3x = 2x - 6 Simplify: x2x+6=6-x^2 - x + 6 = -6 Move all terms to one side: x2+x12=0x^2 + x - 12 = 0 Solve this quadratic equation using the factorization method: (x3)(x+4)=0(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0 Thus, x=3x = 3 or x=4x = -4.
