2/x =x-1

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

x = 2, x = - 1

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x

2 = x^{2} - x

Solve

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

x = 2, x = - 1

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 2, x = - 1

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

\frac{2 z}{z + 3} = \frac{3}{z - 10} + 2

\frac{5}{x + 4} = \frac{3}{x - 2}

\frac{z ^{6} + 1}{z ^{2} + 1} = 0

a, z = b + \frac{m}{a}
