sophadof · Answer

it should be 1/3 why is the test saying im wrong though... @dayakar

sophadof · Answer

I even checked it

dayakar · Answer

i am doing step by step
2/x = 2/(1/3) = 2* 3/1 = 6
is it clear

dayakar · Answer

x+1 = 1/3 +1 
       
       = 1/3 +3/3    [ 1= 3/3]
        
       = (1+3)/3
       = 4/3

dayakar · Answer

4/(x+1) = 4/(4/3) = 4*3/4 

                             = 3  [ 4 cancelled]

dayakar · Answer

2/x + 4/(x+1)  = 9  {given problem]

6 + 3 = 9    [ left hand side part we did above]
 9 =9 [ true ]
our answer is 1/3
