Question

$$\frac{ 2 }{ x+1 } - \frac{ 3 }{ 2x+2 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 2x+3 }$$

Answer

[No Solution]

Solution


Factor out the common term \(2\).
\[\frac{2}{x+1}-\frac{3}{2(x+1)}=\frac{1}{2x+3}\]
Simplify  \(\frac{2}{x+1}-\frac{3}{2(x+1)}\)  to  \(\frac{1}{2(x+1)}\).
\[\frac{1}{2(x+1)}=\frac{1}{2x+3}\]
Cross multiply.
\[2x+3=2(x+1)\]
Expand.
\[2x+3=2x+2\]
Cancel \(2x\) on both sides.
\[3=2\]
Since \(3=2\) is false, there is no solution.
