Solve the equation and check your solution. (If not possible, explain why.) $$ \frac{15}{x}-4=\frac{6}{x}+3 $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution for \(x\) is \(9/7\)

Step by step solution

01

Eliminate the fractions

To eliminate the fractions multiply every term by \(x\) to get: \(15 - 4x = 6 + 3x\). This simplifies to \(7x = 9\).
02

Solve for x

Isolate \(x\) by dividing both sides of the equation by 7. The result is \(x = 9/7\).
03

Check the solution

Substitute \(x = 9/7\) back into the original equation: \(\frac{15}{9/7}-4=\frac{6}{9/7}+3\). It simplifies to \(11.67 = 11.67\). So the value of \(x\) is correct.
