This video is all about how to simplify algebraic fractions 3 by completing the square and forms part of the playlist of the same name.

The question is aimed at around 7+ GCSE maths:

Find the exact solutions of:
x - (8/x) = 4x

and, in this video I've used completing the square. The next video in the playlist is exactly the same ... but using quadratic formula to solve.

I hope the video helps and please do leave a comment - thanks!
