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

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

x = 5

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x - 1

5 = x

Switch sides

x = 5

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 5

\frac{1}{x} = x^{2} - 7

x, x^{- 1} = y - 1

\frac{x - 5}{x + 8} = \frac{2}{7}
