Rewrite the equation 4x/3x−12+3=10 in two equations joined by "and."

1 answer

To rewrite the equation \( \frac{4x}{3x - 12} + 3 = 10 \) in the form of two equations joined by "and," we can first isolate the fraction.

Starting from the original equation:

  1. Subtract 3 from both sides:

    \[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 10 - 3 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 7 \]

  2. Now, we can separate the equation into two parts. We can express it as:

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

So, the final form is:

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