Question

3/x+2 = 2/x−1 pleasee help

Answer 1

So you have:

`(3)/(x) + 2 = (2)/(x) - 1`

1) Start off by multiplying both sides by x to simplify the problem:

`(3)/(x) + 2 = (2)/(x) - 1 \\ x((3)/(x) + 2) = ((2)/(x) - 1)x\\ 3 + 2x = 2 - x`

2) Now isolate the x by moving all terms with x onto one side and all other terms onto the other side:

`3 + 2x = 2 - x\\ 3x = -1`

3) Finally, divide by 3 on both sides to find the value of x:

`3x = -1\\ x = (-1)/(3)`

Answer: x =
`(-1)/(3)`
