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 two equations joined by "and," we first isolate the fraction:

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} + 3 = 10 \]

  2. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 10 - 3 \] \[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 7 \]

Now we can express this as two equations joined by "and":

  • The first equation represents the fraction: \[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 7 \]

  • The second equation represents the rearranged equation: \[ 10 - 3 = 7 \]

Putting it together, we write: \[ \frac{4x}{3x - 12} = 7 \quad \text{and} \quad 10 - 3 = 7 \]
