Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{24}{5}

\frac{3}{x + 1} + \frac{1}{x - 1} = 2

\frac{X}{X + 4} = \frac{7}{6}

y, x = \frac{y + 1}{2 y + 1}

\frac{3 x + 4}{2 x - 5} = \frac{5 x + 4}{2 x - 3}

\frac{x + 2}{2 x} - \frac{x}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
