What is the solution of StartFraction 1 Over c minus 3 EndFraction minus StartFraction 1 Over c EndFraction = StartFraction 3 Over c (c minus 3) EndFraction?
c = 0 and c = 3
all real numbers
all real numbers, except c ¹ 0 and c ¹ 3
no solution

The solution of the given equation can be all real numbers, except c = 0 and c = 3.

Given the following equation:

Note: The denominators cannot be equal to zero (0) because a division by zero (0) is undefined.

Next, we would multiply both sides of the given by the lowest common multiple (LCM).

The lowest common multiple (LCM) is c(c - 3).

Therefore, the solution of the given equation can be all real numbers, except c = 0 and c = 3.

Explanation:

The equation is:

Since c - 3, c, and c(c - 3) are he denominators, none of them can be equal to zero:

Now you can multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator: c (c - 3):

That means the equality is valid for all real numbers for which it is defined, which is all real numbers except c = 0 and c = 3.
