\frac{16}{x + 5} - 3 = 1

x = - 1

Solution steps

\frac{16}{x + 5} - 3 = 1

Move

3

to the right side

\frac{16}{x + 5} = 4

Multiply both sides by

x + 5

16 = 4 (x + 5)

Switch sides

4 (x + 5) = 16

Divide both sides by

4

x + 5 = 4

Move

5

to the right side

x = - 1

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 1

\frac{8}{x} = 5

7 - 3 x + \frac{25}{1 + x} = 0

\frac{12}{6 x - 9} = \frac{4}{x - 4}

x, r = \frac{( a - x )}{a + x}

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