The solution to the original equation is 1, 1/6

<h3>Solving equation</h3>

Equations are expressions separated by mathematical operations.

Given the equation below

x/x − 1 = 6x + 1/x − 1

From the given expression, the least common denominator is x -1

Multiply both sides by x-1 to have;

x = 6x(x-1) +1

Expand

x = 6x^2-6x + 1

Equate to zero

6x^2-6x-x + 1 = 0

6x^2-7x +1= 0

The resulting quadratic equation in general form is 6x^2-7x +1 = 0

Factorize

6x^2 -6x-x + 1 = 0

Group the result

6x(x-1)-1(x-1) = 0

(6x-1)(x-1) = 0

6x - 1 = 0 and x -1 = 0

x = 1 and 1/6

Hence the solution to the original equation is 1, 1/6

What is the value of x

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Together, these two angles form a flat line which is 180 degrees

(x + 7) + (4x - 52) = 180

5x - 45 = 180

+ 45 + 45

5x = 225

x = 45

Table C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality, you need to divide y by x

Table A has a constant of proportionality of $\frac{1}{3}$ which is 0.3333 repeating

Table B has a constant of proportionality of $\frac{3}{5}$ which is 0.6

Table C has a constant of proportionality of $\frac{3}{10}$  which is 0.3
