We have the equation 15/(3x−9) − 4=12.
To find the value that completes the set of equations, we need to solve for x.
First, let's isolate the fraction by adding 4 to both sides of the equation:
15/(3x−9) = 12 + 4
15/(3x−9) = 16
Next, we can cross-multiply:
15 = 16(3x−9)
Expand the right side of the equation:
15 = 48x−144
Now, let's isolate x by adding 144 to both sides of the equation:
15 + 144 = 48x
159 = 48x
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 48 to solve for x:
159/48 = x
x = 3.3125
Therefore, the value that completes the set of equations is x ≠ 3.3125.
