Question 395614: Can someone please help me solve the following equation for x?

x+1/x+4=x+1/x+6

Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x+1)/(x+4) = (x+1)/(x+6)
--------------------------------
Cross-multiply to get:
x^2+7x+6 = x^2+5x+4
---
2x = -2
x = -1
