Answer 1

@ganeshie8 @zepdrix

Answer 2

ok cross multiply
\[x\times (x+2)=1\times 2x\]

Answer 3

Now what do we do? Im not so great at this and dont really understand it :/ @satellite73

Answer 4

@iambatman

Answer 5

@Imtiaz7 Do you have an idea about this?

Answer 6

yes i have but
first Lissie u should multiply (x+2) by x and then 2x multiply by 1
so we get

x^2+2x=2x
x^2=0 bc 2x are cancelled with each other
so finally we get x=0

Answer 7

Okay, Thank you and so then to solve we just put in 0 for x right?
