Question

25+x/9+x=13+x/47-x solve by completing the square help me please

Answer 1

-11 1/2.

Explanation:

To solve the equation 25 + x/9 + x = 13 + x/47 - x, we'll start by combining like terms on both sides:

25 + x/9 + x = 13 + x/47 - x

(25 + x) + (x/9 - x/47) = 13

(25 + x) + x * (9/47) = 13

Next, we'll isolate x by subtracting 25 from both sides:

x + x * (9/47) = -12

Finally, we'll isolate x by dividing both sides by 1 + (9/47):

x = -12 / (1 + (9/47)) = -12 / (1 + (9/47)) = -12 / (48/47) = -12 * 47/48

So the solution to the equation is x = -12 * 47/48 = -11 1/2.
