3.4.5* At the end of the section, we let r=1/x-1 in x/x-1+2/3=2/x-1 to get x r+2/3=2 r
While at first we may seem stuck because we have two variables instead of one, we can still use this substitution to solve the problem!
(a) Solve the equation r=1/x-1 for x in terms of r. In other words, manipulate the equation until you have x equal to an expression with r' s in it, but no x's.
(b) Substitute this expression for x in the equation x r+2/3=2 r. Do you have a linear equation now? Solve that equation for r. Use your value of r to find x.
