Question

1/2n = 1/4n - 3n+3/2n

Solve
Also check for extraneous solutions

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2n = 1/4n - 3n+3/2n

Start by multiplying both sides by 2n to get rid of the fractions:

1 = 1/2 - 3n+3/n

Then by multiplying both sides by n to get rid of the fraction on the right side:

n = -3n+3

Then by adding 3n to both sides:

4n = 3

Then by dividing both sides by 4:

n = 3/4

There is no extraneous solutions in this case, because no denominators are equal to zero and all the operations are valid. Therefore, the solution is n = 3/4
