Question

Solve the following equation

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

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

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

-1 + 2 + 1/x + 1/x = 1 + 2/x:

1 + 2/x = 3

Bring 1 + 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x + 2)/x = 3

Multiply both sides by x:

x + 2 = 3 x

Subtract 3 x + 2 from both sides:

-2 x = -2

Divide both sides by -2:

Answer: x = 1
