The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{2x-3}{x-1} - 4\frac{x-1}{2x-3} = 3 \] where \( x \neq 1 \) and \( x \neq \frac{3}{2} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator The common denominator for the fractions on the left side is \((x-1)(2x-3)\). ### Step 2: Rewrite the equation We can rewrite the equation by multiplying both sides by the common denominator: \[ (2x-3)(2x-3) - 4(x-1)(x-1) = 3(x-1)(2x-3) \] ### Step 3: Expand both sides Now we will expand each term: 1. Left side: \[ (2x-3)(2x-3) = (2x-3)^2 = 4x^2 - 12x + 9 \] \[ -4(x-1)(x-1) = -4(x^2 - 2x + 1) = -4x^2 + 8x - 4 \] Combining these gives: \[ 4x^2 - 12x + 9 - 4x^2 + 8x - 4 = -4x + 5 \] 2. Right side: \[ 3(x-1)(2x-3) = 3(2x^2 - 3x - 2x + 3) = 3(2x^2 - 5x + 3) = 6x^2 - 15x + 9 \] ### Step 4: Set the equation to zero Now we set the equation to zero by moving all terms to one side: \[ -4x + 5 - (6x^2 - 15x + 9) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -6x^2 + 11x - 4 = 0 \] Multiplying through by -1 gives: \[ 6x^2 - 11x + 4 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Use the quadratic formula Now we will use the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \), where \( a = 6, b = -11, c = 4 \). 1. Calculate the discriminant: \[ b^2 - 4ac = (-11)^2 - 4 \cdot 6 \cdot 4 = 121 - 96 = 25 \] 2. Substitute into the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{11 \pm \sqrt{25}}{2 \cdot 6} = \frac{11 \pm 5}{12} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the two possible values for x 1. First solution: \[ x = \frac{11 + 5}{12} = \frac{16}{12} = \frac{4}{3} \] 2. Second solution: \[ x = \frac{11 - 5}{12} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Final Solutions Thus, the solutions to the equation are: \[ x = \frac{4}{3} \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{1}{2} \]
