How to solve 0=X+1/x-2

Answer:

x = -1

Explanation:


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

Variable x cannot be equal to 2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x−2.

0 = x + 1

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

x = -1
