Question 1201293: When solving an equation with variables in denominators, we must determine the values that cause these denominators to equal 0, so that we can reject these values if they appear as proposed solutions. Find all values for which at least one denominator is equal to 0. Write answers using the symbol Do not solve.
\frac{-1}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-4\right)}=\frac{1}{2\left(x+1\right)}

If you trying to use LaTeX, that does not render here.

In pure text, (-1)/((x+3)(x-4))=(1)/(2(x+1))

Inside the triple braces tag, %28-1%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%28x-4%29%29=%281%29%2F%282%28x%2B1%29%29
Values which would make any of the denominators zero,
-1, -3, +4
Those x values are rejected but trying to solve the equation,...

x=-1%2F2%2B-+%281%2F2%29sqrt%2841%29
