How to solve a equation with a fraction in it

Find the least common denominator of all the fractions in the equation.

Multiply both sides of the equation by that least common denominator.

Isolate the variable terms on one side, and the constant terms on the other side.

Simplify both sides.

Use the multiplication or division property to make the coefficient on the variable equal to

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form

(-1,-0.5)
