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

x = 17

Solution steps

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

Move

1

to the right side

x = 17

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 17

\frac{4}{x + 2} = \frac{6}{x - 6}

30 (\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{50}) = 1

\frac{- 1}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}} = 0

\frac{x - 1}{x + 6} - 3 = 5

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