(x-1)/(x+1)= 5/11

\frac{x - 1}{x + 1} = \frac{5}{11}

x = \frac{8}{3}

Decimal Notation

x = 2.66666 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{x - 1}{x + 1} = \frac{5}{11}

Cross multiply

11 x - 11 = 5 x + 5

Move

11

to the right side

11 x = 5 x + 16

Move

5 x

to the left side

6 x = 16

Divide both sides by

6

x = \frac{8}{3}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{8}{3}

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

\frac{- 1}{6 x} + \frac{7}{6} = 1

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

\frac{8}{w - 4} - \frac{2}{w - 4} = 6

- \frac{10 x}{3 - x} = 5
