1. Problem Description

We need to solve the equation 2xx3=4+6x3\frac{2x}{x-3} = 4 + \frac{6}{x-3} for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, we multiply both sides of the equation by (x3)(x-3) to eliminate the fractions.
(x3)2xx3=(x3)(4+6x3)(x-3) \cdot \frac{2x}{x-3} = (x-3) \cdot (4 + \frac{6}{x-3})
This simplifies to:
2x=4(x3)+62x = 4(x-3) + 6
Expanding the right side gives:
2x=4x12+62x = 4x - 12 + 6
Combining like terms on the right side:
2x=4x62x = 4x - 6
Subtract 4x4x from both sides:
2x4x=4x64x2x - 4x = 4x - 6 - 4x
2x=6-2x = -6
Divide both sides by 2-2:
2x2=62\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{-6}{-2}
x=3x = 3
However, we must check if x=3x=3 is a valid solution. If we plug x=3x=3 into the original equation, we get:
2(3)33=4+633\frac{2(3)}{3-3} = 4 + \frac{6}{3-3}
60=4+60\frac{6}{0} = 4 + \frac{6}{0}
Since division by zero is undefined, x=3x=3 is not a valid solution.
Therefore, the equation has no solution.

3. Final Answer

(D) NO SOLUTION
