Answer: Option D x=3 is the solution to the given equation
(1)/(x) = (x+3)/(2x^(2))

Step-by-step explanation:

we will do the reciprocal first on both the sides we will get x=
\frac{2x^(2)} {x+3}

Now, x will cancell out from both sides in numerator we will get

1=
(2x)/(x+3)

x+3 =2x

x=3

Hence, solution for given equation is x=3.

D. x = 3 because 3+3 is 6 and that is over 2*3^2 which is 2*9 which means it is 6/18 then you divide both the numerator and denominator by 6 and that =1/3.
