solve this rational equation: 4 over x(x-1) plus 3 over x = 4 over x-1
:
4%2F%28x%28x-1%29%29 + 3%2Fx = 4%2F%28x-1%29
Multiply each terms by x(x-1)
x(x-1)* 4%2F%28x%28x-1%29%29 + x(x-1)*3%2Fx = x(x-1)*4%2F%28x-1%29
Cancel the denominators and you have:
4 + 3(x-1) = 4x
:
4 + 3x - 3 = 4x
4 - 3 = 4x - 3x
1 = x, but this can't be the solution, gives us division by 0, so
No solution!
