Question

How would I solve 1/x+1 = x/2

Answer 1

I know to cross multiply and can get to x^2 + x = 2. stumped after that.

Answer 2

\[\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{x}{2}\iff x(x+1)=2\]

Answer 3

thanks

Answer 4

(x-1)(x+2) is a solution. so x = 1 and -2

Answer 5

That can be factored. look into it

Answer 6

yes you are right and i am wrong two solutions

Answer 7

I guess I should ask do you understand the factorization @fiedster23 . I'm sure the quadratic would give you the same answer, but I haven't did it.

Answer 8

yes and thank you. i got it now.
