Sorry Lee, but that makes no sense whatsoever.lroux said:yes, multipy, then I am left with 8/x+1+6(x-1) = x-1(x-1) thats when I get stuck, multipying the left side.

Your subject line refers to "inequalities". If this is indeed an inequality, then the solution technique is different from that for an equation. :shock:lroux said:I need to solve for x: 8/x+1 + 6/x-1 = 5
You are correct to that point.lroux said:(8x-8) + (6x+6) = 5(x+1)(x-1), at this point I know I am doing something wrong because it does not calculate correctly.
