(5-x)/(x+1)= 6/2

\frac{5 - x}{x + 1} = \frac{6}{2}

x = \frac{1}{2}

Decimal

x = 0.5

Solution steps

\frac{5 - x}{x + 1} = \frac{6}{2}

Cross multiply

10 - 2 x = 6 x + 6

Move

10

to the right side

- 2 x = 6 x - 4

Move

6 x

to the left side

- 8 x = - 4

Divide both sides by

- 8

x = \frac{1}{2}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{1}{2}

(x + 4)^{- 1} = x^{- 1} + x

\frac{1}{10} = \frac{18.5}{x}

\frac{1}{2 x} = - 18

\frac{x + 1}{5} = \frac{7}{x - 1}

\frac{1}{m ( m - 1 )} = - 4
