Question

6/x-7 - 7/x-8 = ab
please help with an explanation on how to do the problem step by step

Answer 1

6/x-7 -7/x-8=ab
Calculate the difference
6x(x-14)x(x) -8=a (x) (b)
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
6x(x-14)x(x)-8=(b)x a
Swap the sides of the equation
(B) x a = 6x (x-14) (x)(x) -8
Assume (b) =/ 0 and divide both sides of the equation by (b)
a= 6x(x-14)(x)(x)-8
——————————
(b) , (b) =/ 0
Rewrite the restriction
a= 6x(x-14)(x)(x) -8
———————————
(B) , B=/0

Solution
a= 6x(x-14)(x)(x) -8
———————————
(B) , B=/0
