2/(3x)+4/x=7/(x+1) getting a common denominator on the left. we have
[2x + 12x] / [3x2] = 7/(x+1) and cross- multiplying, we have
[ 14x]*[x + 1 ] = 21x2
x (x + 1) = 3x2
x2 + x = (3/2)x2 rearranging, we have
(1/2)x2 - x = 0 multiply by 2 on both sides
x2 - 2x = 0 factor
x(x -2) = 0
Then x = 0 or x =2 reject 0, since it makes the two denominators in the original problem undefined
So ..... x = 2
