Question

So I'm doing math right now and I'm stumped with this:

Solve for x and express the answer in radical form: 1/X+1 = x -4.

Part b is "between which two consecutive integers does the positive root of this equation lie?"

Help please?

Answer 1

This might be wrong, but you need to get x be itself on the left side and then after you do that, the x on both sides will cancel. Whenever you try to subtract one x from the other it will cancel them. So technically that's all you can do.
