in two equations joined by “and.”(2 points)

1 answer

To rewrite the equation \(\frac{4x}{3x - 12} + 3 = 10\) in two equations, we can first isolate the fraction and then express it as two separate statements.

  1. Start by isolating the fraction: \(\frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 10 - 3\)

  2. Simplifying the right side: \(\frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 7\)

Now you can express the original equation as two equations:

\[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 7 \quad \text{and} \quad 3x - 12 \neq 0 \]

The second equation ensures that the denominator is not zero.

So the final result is:

\[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 7 \quad \text{and} \quad 3x - 12 \neq 0 \]
