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

\frac{3 x - 5}{x + 3} = 1

x = 4

Solution steps

\frac{3 x - 5}{x + 3} = 1

Multiply both sides by

x + 3

3 x - 5 = x + 3

Move

5

to the right side

3 x = x + 8

Move

x

to the left side

2 x = 8

Divide both sides by

2

x = 4

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 3

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 4

\frac{x}{2 x - 3} = \frac{3 x}{x + 11}

\frac{5}{b} = \frac{3}{b - 6}

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

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{x}

\frac{3}{3 b + 5} = \frac{2}{b - 5}
