x/2x+7 - x+1/x+3 =1

You've posted:


. . . . .\(\displaystyle \large{\frac{x}{2x}\,+\,7\,-\,x\,+\,\frac{1}{x}\,+\,3\,=\,1}\)


...but I think you mean:


. . . . .\(\displaystyle \large{\frac{x}{2x\,+\,7}\,-\,\frac{x\,+\,1}{x\,+\,3}\,=\,1}\)


Are the instructions to "solve"? If so, and if I've interpreted your meaning correctly, then one way to get started would be to multiply through by the common denominator of (2x + 7)(x + 3).

That is the correct way to write the problem (as you did)

The problem says to solve.

I have tried numerous times to solve but keep getting different answers...

Try again, using stapel's common denominator;

you should end up with ?x^2 + ?x + 28 = 0

then solve that; you'll get 2 answers; one will be -4
