Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the equations provided in the image.
2. Solve:
To solve this, let's cross-multiply:
Expanding both sides:
Now, move all terms involving to one side and constants to the other:
Solving for :
So, the solution for the second equation is:
3. Solve:
To solve this, let's first find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator will be .
Rewrite each term with this denominator:
Now that the denominators are the same, we can equate the numerators:
Expanding each term:
Expanding further:
Now, combine like terms:
Move all terms to one side:
This is a quadratic equation. We can solve it using the quadratic formula:
Thus, the solutions for are:
4. Solve:
Since (assuming ), the equation simplifies to:
Now, multiply both sides by :
So, the solution for the fourth equation is:
