$x+5=9\left(x+1\right)$
Learn how to solve rational equations problems step by step online. Solve the equation (x+5)/(x+1)=9. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+1. Solve the product 9\left(x+1\right). 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 9 and -5.
