Question

solve 2/1-x= 3/1+x

Answer 1

1. multiply (1-x) to get all the x's on one side.
2. rearrange using algebra to solve for x.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

I'm in algebra, I'm not sure of the method either I am no good with math and I tried to find something to help me in my study plan but I searched forever and came out empty handed, so I came here

Answer 4

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 1-x }=\frac{ 3 }{ 1+x }\]\[2(1+x)=3(1-x)\] then
2x+2=3-3x
5x=2-3=-1
x=-1/5

Answer 5

see, I thought it would be 6 because I thought I was supposed to multiply the 2 and 3

and you can verify 1/5 by putting it in original equation on both the sides you will get 5/2 =5/2
