Question2
Select the correct answer.
Solve this equation. x+46x=1x\frac{x+4}{6 x}=\frac{1}{x} A. x=2x=2 B. x=0,2x=0,-2 C. x=2x=-2 D. x=0,2x=0,2 Reset

Studdy Solution
Check for extraneous solutions by substituting x=2x = 2 back into the original equation:
Original equation: x+46x=1x \frac{x+4}{6x} = \frac{1}{x}
Substitute x=2x = 2: 2+46×2=12 \frac{2+4}{6 \times 2} = \frac{1}{2} 612=12 \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2} 12=12 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}
The solution x=2x = 2 is valid.
The correct answer is:
x=2 \boxed{x = 2}
