Solve for x.
(3/x)-(2/x+1)=2

Solve for x.

The LCD is x(x+1) the values that x can't be are 0,-1 because denominators are not allowed to equal 0. Multiply all terms by the LCD to clear the fractions.

Factor
Set each parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x:
2x+3=0 and x-1=0
2x+3-3=0-3 and x-1+1=0+1
2x=-3 and x=1
2x/2=-3/2 and x=1
x=-3/2 and x=1
Happy Calculating!!!
