# Math Help - Solve for X

1. ## Solve for X

State Restrictions and solve for X.

$
\frac{x}{x-1}+3=\frac{1}{x-1}-1
$

Restrictions: x≠1
Answer: x = 1 = null

Correct? If not, suggest correct answer.

$\frac{x+2}{2x-6}-\frac{3}{x-3}=\frac{3}{2}$

Restrictions: x≠3
Answer: x = 3 = null

Correct? If not, suggest correct answer.

Thank you very much.

Unfortunately you didn't post your work ...

If this is actually the correct question then this equation has no solution:

$\frac{x}{x-1}+3=\frac{1}{x-1}-1~\implies~\frac{x}{x-1}-\frac{1}{x-1} = -4~\implies~1\neq -4
$

$\frac{x+2}{2x-6}-\frac{3}{x-3}=\frac{3}{2}$

Restrictions: x≠3
Answer: x = 3 = null

Correct? If not, suggest correct answer.

Thank you very much.
The common dnominator is 2x-6:

$\frac{x+2}{2x-6}-\frac{3}{x-3}=\frac{3}{2}~\implies~\frac{x+2}{2x-6}-\frac{6}{2x-6}=\frac{3}{2}$

And now go ahead!

3. Hello,
I each case, you clearly state that the answer you give for x is exactly the value that it is not allowed to take. Isn't there a problem ?
