How do you solve #(3x)/(x+1) = (3x-2)/(x+2)#? Algebra Rational Equations and Functions Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations 1 Answer Konstantinos Michailidis Sep 18, 2015 Refer to explanation Explanation: We have that #(3x)/(x+1) = (3x-2)/(x+2)=>3x(x+2)=(3x-2)(x+1)=>3x^2+6x=3x^2+3x-2x-2=>5x=-2=>x=-2/5# Answer link Related questions What is Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations?
