Question

(14/x+3)-1=5/x+1, x is not qual to -3, -1. Solve for X

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(14/x-3)-1=5/x+1

14-x-3/x+3=5/x+1

11-x/x+3=5/x+1

11-x(x+1)=5(x+3)

11x+11-x^2+x=5x+3

-x^2+7x+8=0

-x^2-x+8x+8=0

-x(x+1)+8(x+1)=0

(-x+8) (x+1) =0

-x+8=0 or x+1=0

X=8 or x=-1

Since x is equal to -1

Hence x=8
