X/(x-2) + (x-1)/(x+1) = -1 How to solve?

1 answer:

7 0

Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1
