Question

1-1/x=1/3find the value of x​

Answer 1

Solution :

›› 1 - 1/x = 1/3

›› (x - 1)/x = 1/3

›› 3(x - 1) = 1x

›› 3x - 3 = x

›› 3x - x = 3

›› 2x = 3

›› x = 3/2

Hence

• value of x is 3/2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 values for x:

If you take it as (x+1)/x = 3, then

x+1 = 3x, or

2x = 1, or

x = 0.5

Check: (0.5+1)/0.5 = 3. Correct

If you take it as x + (1/x) = 3, then

x^2–3x+1 = 0

x
