GIVEN: 4x/(x² - 3x) - 2/7 = 0 Add 2/7 to both sides to get: 4x/(x² - 3x) = 2/7 Rewrite left-side denominator as follow: 4x/(x)(x - 3) = 2/7 Since x ≠ 0, we can safely take the left-side fraction and divide top and bottom by x When we do this, we get: 4/(x - 3) = 2/7 Now cross multiply to get: 2(x - 3) = (4)(7) Divide both sides by 2 to get: (x - 3) = (2)(7) Simplify: x - 3 = 14 Solve: x = 17
Re: If x > 0 and 4x/(x^2 3x) 2/7 = 0 what is the value of x?

this is how I solved it... multiply both sides by 7*(x^2 - 3x) to get 7(4x) - 2 (x^2 - 3x) = 0 which gives us 28x - 2x^2 + 6x = 0. which is also 34x - 2x^2 = 0. then we add 2x^2 to both sides to get 34x = 2x^2. divide both sides by 2 to get 17x = x^2. since x > 0, we divide x by both sides to get x = 17. Does this work Brent?
