Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step
Step 1:
Simplify x/x2
Dividing exponential expressions :
1.1 x1 divided by x2 = x(1 - 2) = x(-1) = 1/x1 = 1/
Equation at the end of step 1:
2 1 1
(((β+1)-β)-1)-((2β’β)-1) = 0
x x x
STEP 2:Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction:
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
1 1 β’ x
1 = β = βββββ
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
2 - (x) 2 - x
βββ = βββ
x x
Equation at the end of step 2:
2 1 (2-x)
(((β+1)-β)-1)-βββββ = 0
x x x
STEP 3:
Simplify 1/x
Equation at the end of step 3:
2 1 (2 - x)
(((β + 1) - β) - 1) - βββββββ = 0
x x x
STEP4:
Simplify: 2/x
Equation at the end of step 4:
2 1 (2 - x)
(((β + 1) - β) - 1) - βββββββ = 0
x x x
STEP 5:
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
5.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
1 1 β’ x
1 = β = βββββ
1 x
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
2 + x x + 2
βββββ = βββββ
x x
Equation at the end of step 5:
(x + 2) 1 (2 - x)
((βββββββ - β) - 1) - βββββββ = 0
x x x
STEP 6:Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(x+2) - (1) x + 1
βββββββββββ = βββββ
x x
Equation at the end of step 6:
(x + 1) (2 - x)
(βββββββ - 1) - βββββββ = 0
x x
STEP 7:
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
7.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
1 1 β’ x
1 = β = βββββ
1 x
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
7.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
(x+1) - (x) 1
βββββββββββ = β
x x
Equation at the end of step 7:
1 (2 - x)
β - βββββββ = 0
x x
STEP 8:
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
8.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
1 - ((2-x)) x - 1
βββββββββββ = βββββ
x x
Equation at the end of step 8:
x - 1
βββββ = 0
x
STEP 9:
When a fraction equals zero :
9.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.
Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.
Here's how:
x-1
βββ β’ x = 0 β’ x
x
Now, on the left hand side, the x cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape :
x-1 = 0
.2 Solve : x-1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
x = 1
One solution was found :
x = 1
