Answer

Let 2x3x1=\dfrac{2x - 3}{x - 1} = a …….(i)

a4a=3a24a=3a24=3aa23a4=0a24a+a4=0a(a4)+1(a4)=0(a+1)(a4)=0a=1 or a=4.\Rightarrow a - \dfrac{4}{a} = 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{a^2 - 4}{a} = 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow a^2 - 4 = 3a \\[1em] \Rightarrow a^2 - 3a - 4 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow a^2 - 4a + a - 4 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow a(a - 4) + 1(a - 4) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (a + 1)(a - 4) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow a = -1 \text{ or } a = 4.

Substituting value of a = -1 in (i) we get,

2x3x1=12x3=1(x1)2x3=x+12x+x=1+33x=4x=43x=113\Rightarrow \dfrac{2x - 3}{x - 1} = -1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x - 3 = -1(x - 1) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x - 3 = -x + 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x + x = 1 + 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3x = 4 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{4}{3} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 1\dfrac{1}{3}

Substituting value of a = 4 in (i) we get,

2x3x1=42x3=4(x1)2x3=4x44x2x=3+42x=1x=12.\Rightarrow \dfrac{2x - 3}{x - 1} = 4 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x - 3 = 4(x - 1) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x - 3 = 4x - 4 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4x - 2x = -3 + 4 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1}{2}.

Hence, x = 113,121\dfrac{1}{3}, \dfrac{1}{2}.
