(24)/(x-1)=4

\frac{24}{x - 1} = 4

x = 7

Solution steps

\frac{24}{x - 1} = 4

Multiply both sides by

x - 1

24 = 4 (x - 1)

Switch sides

4 (x - 1) = 24

Divide both sides by

4

x - 1 = 6

Move

1

to the right side

x = 7

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 7

\frac{x - 1}{x - 5} = \frac{4}{x - 5}

\frac{8}{3} = \frac{12}{n}

\frac{1}{x + 3} = \frac{x + 10}{x - 2}

\frac{7}{4} = \frac{21}{x}

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{15}{n}
