9/x = 1/(3x)+1

\frac{9}{x} = \frac{1}{3 x} + 1

x = \frac{26}{3}

Solution steps

\frac{9}{x} = \frac{1}{3 x} + 1

Multiply by LCM

27 = 1 + 3 x

Switch sides

1 + 3 x = 27

Move

1

to the right side

3 x = 26

Divide both sides by

3

x = \frac{26}{3}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{26}{3}

\frac{3}{x - 1} = \frac{2}{5}

\frac{3}{x} - \frac{1}{3} = - 6

\frac{- 2}{x - 2} + \frac{1}{x + 4} = 1

\frac{x}{8} = \frac{8}{x}
