I know the answer of x/x-2 + x-1/x + 1; but I do not know how to explain it in words. The answer is x = 0,1, when I solve for x.

I really need this answer ASAP, if possible.
Nvm, I figured the answer out myself, thx for your help.
I assume the usual sloppiness with parentheses, and that your original equation was
x/(x-2) + (x-1)/x + 1 = 0
If you found x=0 as one solutions, you need to exclude it.
(x-1)/x is undefined when x=0
So, while it may appear that x=0 is a solution, it is not acceptable as a value in the original equation.
In addition, the roots of the above equation are 2/3 and 1, not 0.
If your equation was
x/(x-2) + (x-1)/(x+1) = 0
then there are no solutions at all.
So, I'm confused on just what you were after...
