(x+1)/(x-1)= 10/5

\frac{x + 1}{x - 1} = \frac{10}{5}

x = 3

Solution steps

\frac{x + 1}{x - 1} = \frac{10}{5}

Cross multiply

5 x + 5 = 10 x - 10

Move

5

to the right side

5 x = 10 x - 15

Move

10 x

to the left side

- 5 x = - 15

Divide both sides by

- 5

x = 3

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 3

\frac{x ^{4} - 1}{x - 1} = 0

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

\frac{3}{7 x - 1} = \frac{2}{3 x + 2}

B = \frac{a}{1 - a}

\frac{1}{3} - \frac{10}{x + 5} = 4
