$x+1=-\left(x-5\right)$
Learn how to solve rational equations problems step by step online. Solve the rational equation (x+1)/(x-5)=-1. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-5. Simplify the product -(x-5). Group the terms of the equation by moving the terms that have the variable x to the left side, and those that do not have it to the right side. Subtract the values 5 and -1.
