-2= 1/(1+c)

- 2 = \frac{1}{1 + c}

c = - \frac{3}{2}

Decimal Notation

c = - 1.5

Solution steps

- 2 = \frac{1}{1 + c}

Multiply both sides by

1 + c

- 2 (1 + c) = 1

Divide both sides by

- 2

1 + c = - \frac{1}{2}

Move

1

to the right side

c = - \frac{3}{2}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

c = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

c = - \frac{3}{2}

\frac{17}{8} = \frac{9}{x}

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

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

0 = \frac{2 x + 1}{x + 1}

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