Question

Please help:
x+1/x+2=x+3/x-1=1

Answer 1

solve for x

Answer 2

\[x + 1 \div x + 2 = x + 3 \div x - 1 = 1\]

Answer 3

@januaryjoy29 what is the first step you do when solving for a variable?

Answer 4

If you don't know, that's completely fine :)

Answer 5

sorry i dont know, clueless

Answer 6

Ok don't worry!

Answer 7

1st step you would do is isolate the variable

Answer 8

This basically means to get it alone so you can have something like:

x = 1

or

x = 7

Those are not the answers, just examples :)

Answer 9

im trying to understand

Answer 10

Don't worry I'm gonna try explain this the best I can because I remember when I had trouble with Algebra :P

Answer 11

ok thanks

Answer 12

Sorry I got disconnected from the site, it does that sometimes :D

Answer 13

The problem involves:
Solving a rational equation that simplifies to quadratic: Binomial denominators and numerators

Answer 14

\[x + 1 \div x + 2 = x + 3 \div x - 1 = 1\]

Add 1 to the negative 1 and the positive two

You get

\[x + 1 \div x + 3 = x + 3 \div x = 1\]

Answer 15

the answer is suppose to be two numbers like:0,6

Answer 16

\[x+1÷x+3=x+3÷x=1 \]

Subtract 3 from the positive 3 on both sides

You get

\[x + 1 \div x = x \div x = 1\]

Answer 17

so your saying the answer is 1?

Answer 18

ok thanks s much

Answer 19

The answer is not 1, we are solving for x

Answer 20

Can you post you answer choices?

Answer 21

@januaryjoy29 Can you post your answer choices?

Answer 22

Ok so when we come to the point

\[x \div x = x \div x = 1\]

We see that this equation is true. So x does equal 1. The reason why I said x wasn't 1 earlier is because solving for equations early when you think you know the answer CAN be disastrous and I discourage it. Though when it is clear as this, you need not solve further unless your teacher tells you to do so.
