In Example 5, change the numerator on the right to 1 and then solve for x.

Data from Example 5

Solve for

The solution is as follows:

Checking this solution in the original equation, notice the zero in the denominators of the first and third terms of the equation. Because division by zero is undefined, x = −1 cannot be a solution. Thus, there is no solution to this equation.
