Respuesta :

The value of x from the given expression is negative startfraction 17 over 3 endfraction

Solving rational expressions

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers

Given the proportion below;

x+1/x-1 = 14/20

Cross multiply to have;

14(x-1) = 20(x+1)

Expand

14x - 14 = 20x +20

14x-20x = 20 + 14

-6x = 34

x = -34/6

x = -17/3

Hence the value of x from the given expression is negative startfraction 17 over 3 endfraction
