Question

x+1/x=5 then find x-1=
$x + \frac{1?}{?x } = 6$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

X+1/x=5

x+1=5x

1=5x-x

1=4x

x=1/4

x-1=1/4-1

1-4/4

-3/4

Answer 2

${ \huge{ \boxed{ \mathtt{x + \frac{1}{x} = 5}}}}$

Now,

${ \large{ \boxed{ \mathbf{x - 5 = - \frac{1}{x} }}}} \\ { \large{ \boxed{ \mathbf{x - 5 + 4 = - \frac{1}{x} + 4 }}}} \\ { \large{ \boxed{ \mathbf{x - 1 = { \red{\frac{ 4x - 1}{x} }}}}}}$
