Describe and correct the error in solving the following rational equation , plz help

First of all, x cannot ever equal -1 because if it does then in the original equation you'd be dividing by 0, which is not possible. anything divided by 0 is undefined.

I think the error was in the second step: x(x+1) = 2(x+1) because they didn't need to go from the first step to there. I'm assuming they multiplied both sides of the equation with (x+1) to get rid of the fraction, but since both sides have (x+1) as the denominator the (x+1) would've cancelled out instead of multiplying with the numerator.

Correction:

as u can see, in the second step of this correction, the (x+1)s on both sides cancel out so only the numerators remain.

Hope this helps!

since the airplane is moving with constant speed then the distance travelled can be calculated by x=u*t

in km/h would be:

x=640*3.5=2.240 km

in m/s would be:

u=640 km/h= 640.000 m/h =640.000/ 3600 m/s =177.8 m/s

t= 3.5 h= 3.5 * 3600 s=12.600 s

then x=u*t= 177.8*12.600= 2.240.280 m
