Question

What are the solutions to the equation x - 7/x = 6

O x=-7 and x = 1
O x=-6 and x = -1
O x=-1 and x = 7
O x = 1 and x = 6​

Answer 1

The answer is C that is X=7 and X=-1

multiple x through the given equation to get rid of a fraction. It will be

`{x}^(2) - 7 = 6x`

After that bring 6X to the LHS of the equation

so that it will look like the general equation that is

`{x}^(2) - 6x - 7 = 0`

Use the quadratic formula (or any other approach to find the values of x

You will arrive at

`x = 7. - 1`
