The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{\sqrt{12x+1} + \sqrt{2x-3}}{\sqrt{12x+1} - \sqrt{2x-3}} = \frac{3}{2}, \] we can use the properties of proportionality, specifically the Componendo and Evendo method. ### Step 1: Apply Componendo and Evendo Using the Componendo and Evendo method, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \frac{\sqrt{12x+1} + \sqrt{2x-3}}{\sqrt{12x+1} - \sqrt{2x-3}} = \frac{3 + 2}{3 - 2}. \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{\sqrt{12x+1} + \sqrt{2x-3}}{\sqrt{12x+1} - \sqrt{2x-3}} = \frac{5}{1}. \] ### Step 2: Cross-multiply Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ \sqrt{12x+1} + \sqrt{2x-3} = 5(\sqrt{12x+1} - \sqrt{2x-3}). \] ### Step 3: Expand the equation Expanding the right side, we have: \[ \sqrt{12x+1} + \sqrt{2x-3} = 5\sqrt{12x+1} - 5\sqrt{2x-3}. \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \sqrt{2x-3} + 5\sqrt{2x-3} = 5\sqrt{12x+1} - \sqrt{12x+1}. \] This simplifies to: \[ 6\sqrt{2x-3} = 4\sqrt{12x+1}. \] ### Step 5: Divide both sides by 2 Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ 3\sqrt{2x-3} = 2\sqrt{12x+1}. \] ### Step 6: Square both sides Squaring both sides results in: \[ (3\sqrt{2x-3})^2 = (2\sqrt{12x+1})^2. \] This simplifies to: \[ 9(2x-3) = 4(12x+1). \] ### Step 7: Expand both sides Expanding both sides yields: \[ 18x - 27 = 48x + 4. \] ### Step 8: Rearrange to isolate x Rearranging gives: \[ 18x - 48x = 4 + 27, \] which simplifies to: \[ -30x = 31. \] ### Step 9: Solve for x Dividing both sides by -30 gives: \[ x = -\frac{31}{30}. \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ x = -\frac{31}{30}. \]
