Answer :
6/x+1 = 2/y-1
6/x+1 = 2/(-1/2) -1 (Substitute for y = -1/2)
6/x+1 =(-2*2)-1 (Taking 2 to numerator)
6/x+1 = -4-1
6/x+1 = -5
6/x = -5-1
6/x = -6
-6x = 6 (Cross multiplication)
x= 6/-6
Therefore, x = -1
6/x+1 = 2/(-1/2) -1 (Substitute for y = -1/2)
6/x+1 =(-2*2)-1 (Taking 2 to numerator)
6/x+1 = -4-1
6/x+1 = -5
6/x = -5-1
6/x = -6
-6x = 6 (Cross multiplication)
x= 6/-6
Therefore, x = -1
