Answer:

Explanation:

Find common denominator.

1/x + x-1/9x = 1 => 9/9x + x-1/9x = 1 (The common denominator is 9x.)

Combine like terms.

9 + x - 1 / 9x = 1 => x + 8/ 9x = 1

Cancel out 9x from denominator. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

(9x)(x + 8/9x) = 1(9x) => x + 8 = 9x

Solve for x.

8 = 8x => x = 1 (subtract x from both sides at the beginning and then simplify.)
