Answer:
as written: x = 1/3
as maybe intended: x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
As written
(1/x) +2 = (2/x) -1
3 = 1/x . . . . . . . . . add 1-(1/x)
x = 1/3
__
As maybe intended
1/(x +2) = 2/(x -1)
x -1 = 2(x +2) . . . . . . . multiply by (x+2)(x-1)
x -1 = 2x +4 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (x+4)
