Make the given changes in the indicated examples of this section and then solve the resulting quadratic equations.

In Example 8, change the numerator of the first term to 2 and the numerator of the term on the right to 1 and then solve.


Data from Example 8

Solve for 

- X +3 x(x + 2) X 2 x + 2 +

- X +3 x(x + 2) X 2 x + 2 + 3x(x + 2) = 2x(x + 2) x + 2 x + 2 + 3x + 6x = 2x 3x + 5x + 2 = 0 (3x + 2)(x + 1) = 0 3x + 2 = 0, x + 1 = 0, X = X = 3 1
