Question 153371: I took algebra last year and my geometry teacher just gave us a review on the first day. she did not go over the problems and i am confused on how to do these types of problems. can you tell me if i am doing this correctly? if not will you show me what is wrong?
the / represents the fraction bar, not division.
x /(x-3) = (x+1) / (x-4)
x-x-3 = x-x+1+4
-3 = 5

Solve for x:
Multiply both sides by both (x-3) and (x-4)
Now expand both sides of the equation.
Now subtract from both sides.
Add 4x to both sides.
Add 3 to both sdes.
Finally, divide both sides by 2.
