I got x = 3.061 (rounded) for an answer. Is that right?
2 x
----- = 100
x-3
2(x-3)+6
----------- = 100
x-3
6
2+ --- =100
x-3
6
--- = 98
x-3
x-3=6/98
x=3/49 + 3
The third line is messed up for some reason. Dont know why. But its
6
--- + 2 =100
x-3
where did you get the second line from?
subtracting 6 then adding 6 (or adding 0)
yeah... ok...
or you can just multiply both sides by x-3
you get:
2x=100x-300
300=98x
x=300/98 or 150/49 or 3/49+3
I did it:
Code:2x / (x -3) = 100
(2x / (x - 3)) * (x - 3) = 100(x -3)
2x = 100x - 300
300 = 98x
3.0612 = x
haha. that's how I did it.Quote:

Don't know why I found it so confusing. :( :confused:
:P I have fun doing it the other way. Don't spoil it for me.
I don't understand how you went fromQuote:
