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

x = 5 + 26, x = 5 - 26

Decimal Notation

x = 10.09901 \dots, x = - 0.09901 \dots

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x

x^{2} - 1 = 10 x

Solve

x^{2} - 1 = 10 x : x = 5 + 26, x = 5 - 26

x = 5 + 26, x = 5 - 26

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 5 + 26, x = 5 - 26

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

\frac{( x ^{2} + x )}{( x - 1 )} = 6

\frac{9}{x} = \frac{x}{16}

x + \frac{12}{x} = 6

48 = \frac{48 + 2 n}{n} \cdot n - 4
