| 3 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 1 | ÷ | x | = | 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| 3 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | × | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| 3 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | x | × | 1 | = | 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| 3 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | x | × | 1 | = | 2 | x | − | 2 | × | 1 |
| 3 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | x | = | 2 | x | − | 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 3 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | x | − | 1 | = | 2 | x | x | − | 2 | x |
