inorder to solve in terms of x, you must set both equations equal to each other:
3x-4= 2/(2x+3)
here we can multiply each side by (2x+3) to simplify to get:
(3x-4)(2x+3)=2
Then foil it to get a polynomial:
6x2+9x-8x-12=2
Simplify:
6x2+x-12=2 >> 6x2+x-14=0
then use the quadratic formula to solve:
(-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a or (-b-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
= (-1+sqrt(1-4(*6*-14)))/2(6) or (-1-sqrt(1-4(*6*-14)))/2(6)
and there are two answers: x= -1.613 or 1.446
