Answer

Given, x3+9x=4\dfrac{x}{3} + \dfrac{9}{x} = 4.

Taking L.C.M. we get,

x2+273x=4\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2 + 27}{3x} = 4

By cross multiplication we get,

⇒ x2 + 27 = 12x

⇒ x2 - 12x + 27 = 0

⇒ x2 - 9x - 3x + 27 = 0

⇒ x(x - 9) - 3(x - 9) = 0

⇒ (x - 9)(x - 3) = 0

⇒ x - 9 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

⇒ x = 9 or x = 3.

Hence, roots of the given equations are 3, 9.
