Question

3/x^2-1 - 2(x+3) = 5/x+1

Answer 1

X=1.132589

Explanation:

If im correct the answer would be x=1.132589

3

x2−1

−2(x+3)=

5

x+1

3

(x+1)(x−1)

+−2x−6=

5

x+1

Multiply all terms by (x+1)(x-1) and cancel:

3+(−2x−6)(x+1)(x−1)=5(x−1)

−2x3−6x2+2x+9=5x−5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−2x3−6x2+2x+9−(5x−5)=5x−5−(5x−5)(Subtract 5x-5 from both sides)

−2x3−6x2−3x+14=0

(Use cubic formula)

x=1.132589
