Question

what is the solution to the rational equation x/2x+1- 1/4=2/2x+1? Please help

Answer 1

\[\frac{x}{2x-1}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{2x+1}\]
You can multiply both sides by 2x+1
\[x-\frac{1}{4}(2x+1)=2\]
From then on it should be routine.
Remember that the solution cannot be x=-1/2 because that makes the denominator 0.

Answer 2

Sorry typo on my first equation, though I'm sure you'll understand anyway. :D

Answer 3

Yeah, thanks so much!
