Question 747478: Hi tutors,
Please show me the steps in solving this question. Not sure which way to start.
Solve for x. x+1 / x-3 = x+2
Thank you.
Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+1 / x-3 = x+2 CROSS MULTIPLY.
X+1=(X-3)(X+2)
X+1=X^2-X-6
X^2-X-X-6-1=0
X^2-2X-7=0

X=(2+-SQRT(-2^2-4*1*-7))/2*1
X=(2+-SQRT(4+28)/2
X=(2+-SQRT32)/2
X=(2+-5.657)/2
X=(2+5.657)/2
X=7.657/2
X=3.8285 ANS.
X=(2-5.657)/2
X=-3.657/2
X=-1.8285 ANS.
