Hello,
With this 1/x=3/2x+1/x+1, we need multiply by 2x to get:
2=6+2+2x
Combine like terms and subtract 8:
-6=2x
x=-3
(note: I'm assuming this equation is written as: 1/x=(3/2x)+(1/x)+1
In the future, use parenthesis or else we'll give you different answers depending on what's in the denominators.)
