Answer:
x = 2.579248
Explanation:
x^2 - 9/x + 4 = 3 - (x - 3/x) + 4
a) Multiply both sides by x.
x^3 + 4x - 9/x = 6x + 3
b) Multiply both sides by x.
x^4 + 4x^2 - 9x = 6x^2 + 3x
x^4 + 4x^2 - 9x - (6x^2 + 3x) = 6x^2 + 3x - (6x^2 + 3x)
x^4 - 2x^2 - 12x = 0
x(x^3 - 2x - 12) = 0
x = 0 or x^3 - 2x - 12 = 0
x = 0 or 2.5792479999999998
