If 2 ⁻¹x - 3 ⁻¹x = 4 , then 2 ⁻¹x + 3 ⁻¹x =
Options
- A6 - 4 5
- B6 + 4 5
- C5 - 4 6
- D5 + 4 6
Correct answer
A. 6 - 4 5
Step-by-step solution
Let E = 2 ⁻¹x + 3 ⁻¹x Given 2 ⁻¹x - 3 ⁻¹x = 4 Adding the two equations, we get: 4 ⁻¹x = E + 4 ⁻¹x = E + 4 4 Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get: 6 ⁻¹x = E - 4 ⁻¹x = E - 4 6 Using the identity ⁻¹x + ⁻¹x = 2 : E + 4 4 + E - 4 6 = 2 3(E + 4) + 2(E - 4) 12 = 2 5E + 4 12 = 2 5E + 4 = 6 E = 6 - 4 5 Answer: 6 - 4 5
