The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{5}{2x+1} + \frac{6}{x+1} = 3\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) The LCM of the denominators \(2x + 1\) and \(x + 1\) is \((2x + 1)(x + 1)\). ### Step 2: Multiply through by the LCM Multiply the entire equation by the LCM to eliminate the fractions: \[ (2x + 1)(x + 1) \left(\frac{5}{2x+1} + \frac{6}{x+1}\right) = 3(2x + 1)(x + 1) \] This simplifies to: \[ 5(x + 1) + 6(2x + 1) = 3(2x^2 + 3x + 1) \] ### Step 3: Expand both sides Expanding the left side: \[ 5x + 5 + 12x + 6 = 3(2x^2 + 3x + 1) \] Combining like terms gives: \[ 17x + 11 = 3(2x^2 + 3x + 1) \] Expanding the right side: \[ 17x + 11 = 6x^2 + 9x + 3 \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 0 = 6x^2 + 9x + 3 - 17x - 11 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = 6x^2 - 8x - 8 \] ### Step 5: Divide the entire equation by 2 To simplify, divide the entire equation by 2: \[ 0 = 3x^2 - 4x - 4 \] ### Step 6: Factor the quadratic equation We will factor the quadratic equation: \[ 3x^2 - 6x + 2x - 4 = 0 \] Grouping gives: \[ 3x(x - 2) + 2(x - 2) = 0 \] Factoring out \((x - 2)\): \[ (x - 2)(3x + 2) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(x\) Setting each factor to zero gives: 1. \(x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 2\) 2. \(3x + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -\frac{2}{3}\) ### Final Solution The solutions for the equation are: \[ x = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{2}{3} \] ---
