Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X-2/X+1 = 1/2

By cross multiplication

2(x-2)=1(x+1)

2x-4=x+1

2x-x=1+4

X=5

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\pink{Solution}$

$\frac{x - 2}{x + 1} = \frac{1}{2}$

Cross multiplying it :

2(x-2) = x+1

2x - 4 = x+1

2x-x = 1+4

x = 5 ( required answer )
