The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \(\frac{3x}{2x-6} + \frac{9}{6-2x}\), we will first rewrite the second term to have a common denominator. ### Step 1: Rewrite the second term The expression can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{3x}{2x-6} + \frac{9}{6-2x} = \frac{3x}{2x-6} + \frac{9}{-(2x-6)} = \frac{3x}{2x-6} - \frac{9}{2x-6} \] This is because \(6 - 2x\) is equivalent to \(-(2x - 6)\). ### Step 2: Combine the fractions Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them: \[ \frac{3x - 9}{2x - 6} \] ### Step 3: Factor the numerator Next, we can factor the numerator: \[ 3x - 9 = 3(x - 3) \] Thus, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{3(x - 3)}{2x - 6} \] ### Step 4: Factor the denominator Now, let's factor the denominator: \[ 2x - 6 = 2(x - 3) \] So the expression becomes: \[ \frac{3(x - 3)}{2(x - 3)} \] ### Step 5: Cancel the common factors Since \(x - 3\) is common in both the numerator and the denominator, we can cancel it (as long as \(x \neq 3\)): \[ \frac{3}{2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the expression \(\frac{3x}{2x-6} + \frac{9}{6-2x}\) simplifies to: \[ \frac{3}{2} \] ### Final Answer The equivalent expression is \(\frac{3}{2}\), which corresponds to option D.
