Question

Solve the equation: 3/(x+1) - 1/x = 1/2

Answer 1

\[\frac{3}{x+1}-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}\]

Answer 2

best is to multiply all by \(2x(x+1)\) to clear the fractions.

Answer 3

whoa mistake!!

Answer 4

you get
\[3(2x)-2(x+1)=x(x+1)\] i forgot to cancel the 2

Answer 5

ok from here? you get a quadratic equation that is easy to factor

Answer 6

Just multiply both sides of the equation with 2x(x+1). Pretty easy.
