Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Denominators are eliminated by cross-multiplication

    The given equation is:

    2x−1x+3=x+2x−1\frac{2x - 1}{x + 3} = \frac{x + 2}{x - 1}

    Multiply both sides by (x+3)(x−1)(x+3)(x-1) to clear the denominators, assuming x≠−3x \neq -3 and x≠1x \neq 1:

    (2x−1)(x−1)=(x+2)(x+3)(2x - 1)(x - 1) = (x + 2)(x + 3)
  2. Expand both sides of the equation

    Expand the left side:

    (2x−1)(x−1)=2x2−2x−x+1=2x2−3x+1(2x - 1)(x - 1) = 2x^2 - 2x - x + 1 = 2x^2 - 3x + 1

    Expand the right side:

    (x+2)(x+3)=x2+3x+2x+6=x2+5x+6(x + 2)(x + 3) = x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6

    Now the equation is:

    2x2−3x+1=x2+5x+62x^2 - 3x + 1 = x^2 + 5x + 6
  3. Rearrange the equation into standard quadratic form

    Move all terms to one side to get a quadratic equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0:

    2x2−x2−3x−5x+1−6=02x^2 - x^2 - 3x - 5x + 1 - 6 = 0 x2−8x−5=0x^2 - 8x - 5 = 0
  4. Calculate the sum of the roots

    For a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the sum of the roots (x1+x2x_1 + x_2) is given by the formula −ba-\frac{b}{a}.
    In our equation x2−8x−5=0x^2 - 8x - 5 = 0, we have a=1a=1, b=−8b=-8, and c=−5c=-5.
    The sum of the roots is:

    x1+x2=−−81=8x_1 + x_2 = -\frac{-8}{1} = 8

    We should also verify that the roots are not x=−3x=-3 or x=1x=1. The discriminant is Δ=b2−4ac=(−8)2−4(1)(−5)=64+20=84\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-8)^2 - 4(1)(-5) = 64 + 20 = 84. Since Δ>0\Delta > 0, there are two distinct real roots. The roots are x=8±842=4±21x = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{84}}{2} = 4 \pm \sqrt{21}. Neither of these values is −3-3 or 1, so both are valid solutions.

    The sum of the xx values that satisfy the equation is 8\boxed{8}.
