(x+5)/(x-1)= x/2

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

x = 5, x = - 2

Solution steps

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

Cross multiply

(x + 5) \cdot 2 = (x - 1) x

Solve

(x + 5) \cdot 2 = (x - 1) x : x = 5, x = - 2

x = 5, x = - 2

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 5, x = - 2

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

\frac{32}{x} = \frac{18}{12}

\frac{1}{5 m + 4} + 5 = - \frac{1}{3}

\frac{5}{x} = \frac{10}{4}

\frac{- 1000}{x} = 125
