What is the value of x in the equation? 4/3√10x - 4 - 8 = 0
A. zero
B. 2
C. 4
D. 6
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
To solve the equation:
\[
\frac{4}{3\sqrt{10x}} - 4 - 8 = 0
\]
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Combine constants:
\[
\frac{4}{3\sqrt{10x}} - 12 = 0
\]
2. Isolate the fraction:
\[
\frac{4}{3\sqrt{10x}} = 12
\]
3. Solve for \(\sqrt{10x}\):
Multiply both sides by \(3\sqrt{10x}\):
\[
4 = 36\sqrt{10x}
\]
4. Divide both sides by 36:
\[
\sqrt{10x} = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}
\]
5. Square both sides to remove the square root:
\[
10x = \left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^2
\]
\[
10x = \frac{1}{81}
\]
6. Solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{1}{810}
\]
