Question

Solve. X+1 /x-1 =2x-4/2x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -1 (x+1) = 2x-4(x-1)

2x^2 +2x -1x +1 = 2x^2 -2x-4x+4

2x +2x +4x-1x = 5

7x = 5

x = 5/7

Answer 2

$cross \: multiply \\ 2x + 1(x + 1)=x - 1(2x - 4) \\ multiply \\ 2 {x}^{2} + 3x + 1x + 2=2 {x}^{2} -4x - 3 + 4 \\ 2 {x}^{2} + 3x + 1x - 2 {x}^{2} + 4x + 3x=4 - 2 \\ now \: cancel \: {x}^{2} terms \: above \\ 3x + 1x + 4x + 3x =2 \\ 4x + 7x=2 \\ 11x=2 \\ x= \frac{2}{11}$

hope it helps
