1/x - 2/x+1 = 3/6x

Question

This is a rational equation and you need you need to find x for the answer 

 

Answer 1

 

Moving 1/X to the right side of the symbol "=",

 

-2/(X+1) = 3/(6X) - 1/X

 

We can write this expression in the following way:

 

 

     -2         =     1     -   1

----------          ----      ----

 (X + 1)            2X        X

 

    -2         =     - 1

----------          ------

  (X+1)              2X

 

It can simplify as:

  

    4X    =   (X + 1)

    

     4X - X = 1       The solution is:  X = 1/3
