Full solution

Q. 22 Solve the equation x316=4xx3 \frac{x-3}{16}=\frac{4 x}{x-3} .
  1. Cross Multiply: Cross multiply to get rid of the fractions: x\(-3)(x3-3) = 1616(44x)\
  2. Expand Left Side: Expand the left side using the FOIL method: x23x3x+9=64xx^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 64x.
  3. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side: x26x+9=64xx^2 - 6x + 9 = 64x.
  4. Subtract 64x64x: Subtract 64x64x from both sides to get all xx terms on one side: x270x+9=0x^2 - 70x + 9 = 0.
  5. Use Quadratic Formula: Try to factor the quadratic, but it doesn't factor nicely. So, use the quadratic formula: x=(70)±(70)24(1)(9)2×1x = \frac{-(-70) \pm \sqrt{(-70)^2 - 4(1)(9)}}{2 \times 1}.
  6. Simplify Formula: Simplify inside the square root and the rest of the formula: x=70±4900362x = \frac{70 \pm \sqrt{4900 - 36}}{2}.
  7. Further Simplify: Further simplify the square root: x=70±48642x = \frac{70 \pm \sqrt{4864}}{2}.
  8. Calculate Square Root: Calculate the square root: x=70±702x = \frac{\sqrt{70} \pm \sqrt{70}}{2}.
