Please help me solve the following equation....I'm beginning to think the solution in the answer book is wrong:
\n" ); document.write( "x/(x-1) minus 1/x = 3/2.....solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2x(x-1) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 - 2(x-1) = 3x(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 -2x + 2 = 3x^2 - 3x
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - x - 2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2)(x+1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Potential answers:
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1 or x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Checking you will find that both are answers.
