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

x = 1

Solution steps

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

Cross multiply

3 x - 1 = x \cdot 2

Move

1

to the right side

3 x = x \cdot 2 + 1

Move

x 2

to the left side

x = 1

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0, x = \frac{1}{3}

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 1

b = \frac{c}{1 - t}

\frac{x ^{2} - 9}{x - 3} = 0

\frac{h - 4}{j} = k, j

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

1 - \frac{1}{x ^{2}} = 0.84
