The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{2x^2}{x-1} - \frac{2x + 7}{3} + \frac{4 - 6x}{x-1} + 1 = 0, \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Restrictions First, we note that \( x \neq 1 \) because it would make the denominator zero, leading to an undefined expression. ### Step 2: Find a Common Denominator The common denominator for the fractions is \( 3(x - 1) \). We will rewrite each term with this common denominator: 1. For \( \frac{2x^2}{x-1} \): \[ \frac{2x^2}{x-1} = \frac{2x^2 \cdot 3}{3(x-1)} = \frac{6x^2}{3(x-1)} \] 2. For \( -\frac{2x + 7}{3} \): \[ -\frac{2x + 7}{3} = -\frac{(2x + 7)(x - 1)}{3(x - 1)} = -\frac{(2x^2 + 7 - 2x - 7)}{3(x - 1)} = -\frac{2x^2 + 7 - 2x + 7}{3(x - 1)} \] 3. For \( \frac{4 - 6x}{x-1} \): \[ \frac{4 - 6x}{x-1} = \frac{(4 - 6x) \cdot 3}{3(x-1)} = \frac{12 - 18x}{3(x-1)} \] 4. For \( 1 \): \[ 1 = \frac{3(x-1)}{3(x-1)} = \frac{3x - 3}{3(x-1)} \] ### Step 3: Combine the Terms Now we combine all the terms over the common denominator: \[ \frac{6x^2 - (2x^2 - 2x + 7) + (12 - 18x) + (3x - 3)}{3(x-1)} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x^2 - 2x^2 + 2x - 7 + 12 - 18x + 3x - 3 = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ (6x^2 - 2x^2) + (2x - 18x + 3x) + (-7 + 12 - 3) = 0 \] This results in: \[ 4x^2 - 13x + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve the Quadratic Equation Now we can solve the quadratic equation \( 4x^2 - 13x + 2 = 0 \) using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Where \( a = 4, b = -13, c = 2 \): \[ b^2 - 4ac = (-13)^2 - 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 2 = 169 - 32 = 137 \] Now substituting into the formula: \[ x = \frac{13 \pm \sqrt{137}}{8} \] ### Step 5: Identify the Roots The roots of the equation are: \[ x_1 = \frac{13 + \sqrt{137}}{8}, \quad x_2 = \frac{13 - \sqrt{137}}{8} \] ### Conclusion Since \( x \neq 1 \), we check if either root equals 1. However, neither root will equal 1, hence both roots are valid. ### Final Answer The roots of the equation are: \[ x = \frac{13 + \sqrt{137}}{8} \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{13 - \sqrt{137}}{8} \] ---
