Answer:
x = (-47/14)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
(x² - 3x - 28)/(x² - 49) = (3/17)
Let's take x² - 3x - 28
x² - 3x - 28
ax² + bx + c
where a = 1, b = (-3), c = (-28)
Using splitting the middle term method,
Sum = b = (-3)
Product = (a × c) = (-28)
∴ Factors are (-7) and 4
So,
x² - 7x + 4x - 28
x(x - 7) + 4(x - 7)
(x + 4)(x - 7)
Also,
We know that,
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
Now,
x² - 49 = x² - 7²
So,
x² - 49 = (x + 7)(x - 7)
Hence, we get our problem as,
(x + 4)(x - 7)/(x + 7)(x - 7) = (3/17)
Cancelling the common factor (x - 7)
We get,
(x + 4)/(x + 7) = (3/17)
Cross multiplying we get,
17(x + 4) = 3(x + 7)
17x + 68 = 3x + 21
17x - 3x = 21 - 68
14x = (-47)
x = (-47/14)
Hence,
x = (-47/14)
We can also verify faster using a calculator.
As it is difficult to understand and also confusing if I type I would like to also put up the hand written version of the solution. Pardon me for the inconvenience.
Hope it helped and believing you understood it........All the best
