2

x + 1 = 24

Move

1

to the right side

x = 23

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 23

\frac{m + 2}{m - 2} = 3

A = \frac{x ^{2} + 12 x + 35}{x + 3}

\frac{2 x}{48} = \frac{3}{x}

x + \frac{2}{x} = \frac{9}{2}

\frac{9}{k ^{3}} = \frac{3}{5}
