The correct Answer is:
To find the roots of the equation \[ \frac{1}{x+4} - \frac{1}{x-7} = \frac{11}{30} \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator To combine the left side of the equation, we need to find a common denominator, which is \((x + 4)(x - 7)\). \[ \frac{(x - 7) - (x + 4)}{(x + 4)(x - 7)} = \frac{11}{30} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the numerator Now, simplify the numerator: \[ (x - 7) - (x + 4) = x - 7 - x - 4 = -11 \] So, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \frac{-11}{(x + 4)(x - 7)} = \frac{11}{30} \] ### Step 3: Cross-multiply Now we will cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions: \[ -11 \cdot 30 = 11 \cdot (x + 4)(x - 7) \] This simplifies to: \[ -330 = 11(x + 4)(x - 7) \] ### Step 4: Divide both sides by 11 Next, divide both sides by 11: \[ -30 = (x + 4)(x - 7) \] ### Step 5: Expand the right side Now, expand the right side: \[ -30 = x^2 - 7x + 4x - 28 \] This simplifies to: \[ -30 = x^2 - 3x - 28 \] ### Step 6: Move all terms to one side Now, move all terms to one side of the equation: \[ x^2 - 3x - 28 + 30 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Factor the quadratic equation Now, we will factor the quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 \] ### Step 8: Solve for x Setting each factor to zero gives us: \[ x - 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 1 \] \[ x - 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the roots of the equation are: \[ x = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 2 \] ---
