The values are x = 1 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
1/x+4 - 1/x-7 = 11/30
[(x - 7 - (x+4)] / (x +4) (x -7) = 11/30
(x - 7 - x - 4)/ x^2 - 7x +4x - 28 = 11/30
-11/ x^2 -3x - 28 = 11/30
Do the cross multiplication, we get
30 = 11(x²-3x-28)/(-11)
30 = -(x²-3x-28)
x²-3x-28+30 =0
x²-3x+2=0
Now splitting the middle term, we get
x²-1x-2x+2 =0
x(x-1)-2(x-1)=0
(x-1)(x-2)=0
x-1 = 0 or x-2 = 0
x = 1 or x = 2
Thus the values are x = 1 or x = 2
