Question

State true or false:

If $\frac{x^2}{4}=\frac{x}{2}+12$, then $x=8$ or $x=6$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Given equation is $\frac{x^2}{4}=\frac{x}{2}+12$

$x^2=2x+48$
$\therefore x^2-2x-48=0$
$\therefore x^2-8x+6x-48=0$
$\therefore (x-8)(x+6)=0$
$\therefore x=-6,8$
