Question

for 3/x-1=10, is it x=1?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

if it is \(\frac{3}{x-1}=10\) then if \(x=1\) you would have \(\frac{3}{1-1}=\frac{3}{0}\) which is undefined, and certainly not equal to ten

Answer 3

yes it i the equation i am working on.. solve graphically, so i multiplied both sides by x-1, then divide by ....10?

Answer 4

I would cross multiply.

Answer 5

no idea... i feel like im missing a number

Answer 6

Are you expecting an integer answer?

Answer 7

\[\frac{3}{x-1} = \frac{10}{1}\]

Answer 8

says to simplify answer and use commas as needed-??- or other answer is "all real numbers"

Answer 9

Start by cross multiplying. What do you get?

Answer 10

30/x-1

Answer 11

Do you know how to cross multiply?
3 * 1 = 10(x-1)

Answer 12

oh thats right..

Answer 13

guess not...:(

Answer 14

OK, let me draw a picture (a picture is worth 1000 words, right?)

Answer 15

yes thank you

Answer 16

\[\frac{x}{y} = \frac{a}{b}\]
\[x*b = y*a\]

Answer 17

So, what did you get when you cross multiplied?

Answer 18

3/10x-10

Answer 19

You seem to be "hooked on fractions". See if this helps...
\(\frac{3}{x-1} = \frac{10}{1}\)
3 * 1 = 10(x-1)
