George tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation becomes unsolvable. "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero," George explains. Using complete sentences, demonstrate to George how the equation is still solvable.

1/x-1 Looking at the equation the denominator will be zero when x = 1 and as stated in the question dividing by zero is undefined. What you do is restrict the domain, or the x values that you can use... In this example you say you can input all real x values, except x = 1 that means you can solve it or graph it... but the restriction will cause a gap.. hope it makes sense.
