Math Problem Statement
What about write each quadratic equation in standard form 4/x + 10 = 4/x-1
Solution
To write the equation in standard form, follow these steps:
-
Eliminate the fractions by multiplying every term by the least common denominator (LCD). In this case, the LCD is :
-
Distribute and simplify each side:
On the left side:
On the right side:
So, you get:
-
Simplify and move all terms to one side to set the equation to zero:
Subtract from both sides:
-
Simplify the coefficients if possible:
Divide the entire equation by 2 to simplify it:
The equation is now in standard form.
