1. Problem Description

We are given the equation 4x2+12(x2)=34(x2)\frac{4}{x-2} + \frac{1}{2(x-2)} = \frac{3}{4(x-2)} and we need to solve for xx.

2. Solution Steps

The given equation is
4x2+12(x2)=34(x2)\frac{4}{x-2} + \frac{1}{2(x-2)} = \frac{3}{4(x-2)}.
We first find a common denominator for the terms. The least common denominator (LCD) is 4(x2)4(x-2).
Multiply each term by the appropriate factor to get the common denominator.
4x244+12(x2)22=34(x2)\frac{4}{x-2} \cdot \frac{4}{4} + \frac{1}{2(x-2)} \cdot \frac{2}{2} = \frac{3}{4(x-2)}.
This gives us
164(x2)+24(x2)=34(x2)\frac{16}{4(x-2)} + \frac{2}{4(x-2)} = \frac{3}{4(x-2)}.
Now we can add the fractions on the left side:
16+24(x2)=34(x2)\frac{16+2}{4(x-2)} = \frac{3}{4(x-2)}
184(x2)=34(x2)\frac{18}{4(x-2)} = \frac{3}{4(x-2)}.
Since the denominators are the same, we can equate the numerators, provided x2x \neq 2:
18=318 = 3.
This equation is never true, regardless of the value of xx.
Therefore, there is no solution to the given equation.

3. Final Answer

No solution.
