To solve the given equation, we need to simplify both sides and then solve for x.
Starting with the left side of the equation:
(3x - x^2)/2 + (2x^2 - x)/6
First, we simplify each fraction:
(3x - x^2)/2 = x(3 - x)/2
(2x^2 - x)/6 = x(2x - 1)/6
Now, we add the two simplified fractions together:
x(3 - x)/2 + x(2x - 1)/6
To combine the fractions, we need a common denominator of 6:
(3x(3 - x) + 2x(2x - 1))/6(9x - 3x^2 + 4x^2 - 2x))/6(4x^2 + 7x)/6
Now, our equation becomes:
(4x^2 + 7x)/6 = x
Multiplying both sides by 6 to clear the fraction:
4x^2 + 7x = 6x
Rearranging and simplifying the equation:
4x^2 + 7x = 6x4x^2 + 7x - 6x = 04x^2 + x = 0
Factoring out an x:
x(4x + 1) = 0
Setting each factor to zero:
x = 0 or 4x + 1 = 0
Solving for x:
x = 0 or 4x = -1, x = -1/4
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = 0 or x = -1/4.
