Question

1/x-1 + 1 = 4 how do u solve for the unknown?

Answer 1

It would be nice to show the steps so i can understand how to do it..thanks

Answer 2

Assuming that it's 1/(x-1) + 1 = 4 then you subtract 1 from both sides then multiply both sides by x-1 and then add 3 and divide by 3 to get 3/4.

Answer 3

subtract one and get
1 / (x - 1) = 3
this is the same as
(x-1)^-1 = 3
raise the whole thing to the power of -1 and get
x - 1 = 1/3
add one
x = 4/3

Answer 4

opps meant to say 4/3
