x-2/x =-1

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

x = 1, x = - 2

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x

x^{2} - 2 = - x

Solve

x^{2} - 2 = - x : x = 1, x = - 2

x = 1, x = - 2

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 1, x = - 2

\frac{2 x + 1}{x ^{2} + x + 1} = 0

\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2 x}

\frac{8 x - 1}{x + 1} - \frac{7}{8 x} = 8

\frac{a x + b}{c x + d}

\frac{x - 3}{x - 4} = \frac{x + 2}{x + 6}
