What is the simplified form of 2 over x squared plus x minus 1 over x ?

X= (X-1)/x(x+1)

X=(1-x)/x(x+1)

X=(3-x)/x(x-1)

X=(x+2)/x(x-1)

Answer:


\boxed{\boxed{(2)/(x^2+x)-(1)/(x)=(1-x)/(x(x+1))}}

Explanation:

The given expression is,


(2)/(x^2+x)-(1)/(x)

Factoring
x^2+x,


x^2+x=x(x+1)

Hence,


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


\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}x\left(x+1\right),x = x\left(x+1\right)

So,


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


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


=(1-x)/(x(x+1))
