To solve the equation X−3X-3X−3/X−2X-2X−2 + X−2X-2X−2/X−3X-3X−3 = 2 1/2, we need to first find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator in this case is X−2X-2X−2X−3X-3X−3.
Rewriting the equation with the common denominator:
(X−3)2+(X−2)2(X-3)^2 + (X-2)^2(X−3)2+(X−2)2 / (X−2)(X−3)(X-2)(X-3)(X−2)(X−3) = 5/2
Expanding the numerators:
X2−6X+9+X2−4X+4X^2 - 6X + 9 + X^2 - 4X + 4X2−6X+9+X2−4X+4 / (X−2)(X−3)(X-2)(X-3)(X−2)(X−3) = 5/2
Simplifying the numerators:
2X2−10X+132X^2 - 10X + 132X2−10X+13 / (X−2)(X−3)(X-2)(X-3)(X−2)(X−3) = 5/2
Multiplying both sides by 2:
22X2−10X+132X^2 - 10X + 132X2−10X+13 = 5X2−5X+6X^2 - 5X + 6X2−5X+6
Expanding both sides:
4X^2 - 20X + 26 = 5X^2 - 25X + 30
Rearranging terms:
X^2 + 5X - 4 = 0
Factoring the quadratic equation:
X+4X + 4X+4X−1X - 1X−1 = 0
Setting each factor to zero:
X + 4 = 0 or X - 1 = 0
Therefore, the solutions are X = -4 and X = 1.
