Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2022 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

\frac{1}{6}

\frac{1}{4}

\frac{- 3}{2}

\frac{- 7}{6}

Answer Details

$\frac{1}{x}$ + $\frac{4}{3 x}$ - $\frac{5}{6 x}$ + 1 = 0
using 6x as lcm

→ $\frac{6 + 8 - 5 + 6 x}{6 x}$

→ $\frac{9 + 6 x}{6 x}$ = 0

9+6x = 0

6x = -9

x = $\frac{- 9}{6}$ or $\frac{- 3}{2}$
