Howdy & I sure hope all is well. :) As for your question:
X/(X + 1) = -- 3 -- 1/(X + 1)
First of all, you don't cross-multiply, because the expression isn't in the form of a/b = c/d. In your question, the 3 is added to the fraction.
So the first thing to do is to multiply both sides of the equation by (X + 1), so as to eliminate the fractions. (Both sides so as to preserve the equation's equality!) We get:
(X + 1)*[X/(X + 1)] = -- 3*(X + 1) -- (X + 1)*[1/(X + 1)]
Simplifying yields:
X = -- 3X -- 3 -- 1
Simplifying further yields:
X = -- 3X -- 4
Next, we add 3X to both sides of the equation, so as to isolate the X-terms on one side of the equation. We get:
X + 3X = 3X -- 3X -- 4
Simplifying yields:
4X = -- 4
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 4. We get:
4X/4 = -- 4/4
Simplifying yields:
X = -- 1
I sure hope that was as clear & as helpful as you needed it to be. :) Good luck, take care & have a great day. :)
Cheers! :)
