Question 205761: I need your help, please, on a linear equation involving fractions. My problem is 3 over 4 = 1 - 3x-2/x+1. I know I need to find a common denominator, which I think is 4(x+1). Am I right so far? I've done this problem 5 times and came up with 5 different answers. Help.... Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve for x: First, simplify the right side. LCD is (x+1). Now apply the LCD of 4(x+1) to both sides. Multiply both sides by 4(x+1) to clear the denominators. Simplify. Add 8x to both sides. Subtract 3 from both sides. Finally, divide both sides by 11.
