What is (-1/x)-(1)?

Question

Please could you break down the steps for me too please.

Answer 1

-1/x-1=

-(1/x+1)=

-(1+x)/x

Answer 2

-1/x  -  1

= -1/x  -  x/x

= (-1  -  x)/x

= -(1  +  x)/x

= -(x  +  1)/x

That's about as pretty as it gets. Note the usage of white space to distinguish between subtraction and negation.

Answer 3

- x+1/x

x=-1                                  .

Answer 4

(-1/x) - (1) = (-1 - x)/x = -(x + 1)/x

Answer 5

(-1/x) - (1)

= -(x + 1)/x

Answer 6

Your question doesn't really make any sense. it's like saying what is my blue?

What you wrote is just an expression or an equation. What do you want? You want its roots? You want to write a differently?

Answer 7

comment : x is the 'common ' bottom'....thus [ - 1 - x ] / x

Answer 8

-1/x - 1

To subtract fractions you first need to get a common denominator:

-1/x - x/x

Now that the denominators are the same we can subtract the numerators:

(-1 - x) / x
