... so, im i supposed to move the x up to the right side and multiplie it with x(3-x) then move the 2 to the same side so i get x^2+3x-2 = 0 and then somting like PQ to solve the x?

can't really see the photo

wise herald

how bout that one sir

ruby terrace
#

oh

#

is it just

#

2/x=3-x?

wise herald
#

yup haha 🙂

ruby terrace
#

right right ok ok

#

so ya you're absolutely right

#

I don't know what PQ stands for but

#

you just solve for x

#

I think x=1,2?

wise herald
#

hahha we call it PQ or kvadrat komplttering but yea, should i alway think that i move the x from 2/x to the right side

#

never heard of that one before. But yes, as long as you are careful with which numbers x can take, then its ok to do that

wise herald
#

so lets say i had 2/2x

#

i do the same by moving the whole 2x to the right side

#

and multiplie it

ruby terrace
#

well ya, you can do that but the 2's cancel out so

#

I guess it's the same thing

#

well not exactly the same, but the intuition is

thank u sir!! 🙂
