We aren't really helping you by doing your homework for you...it would be better if you showed your attempts and thoughts so we can guide you rather than hand out answers.

Multiply both sides by 2x(x + 1)(x - 1) and we get 0 ≥ (x - 2)(x² - 2x + 2). Since x² - 2x + 2 > 0 for all x i.e. the discriminant, x - 2 ≤ 0 i.e. x ≤ 2. I think there's a bit more solutions that I've posted. I'll let others reply. Last edited by the john; April 7th, 2014 at 10:33 PM.
