WhAt Enters from food that is digested ?

The digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal (also called the digestive tract) and other organs, such as the liver and pancreas. The alimentary canal is the long tube of organs — including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines — that runs from the mouth to the anus.

Since we want to solve for the variable x, we want to isolate x

a²x + (a - 1) = (a + 1)x ⇒ Distribute x to (a+1). Also, remove parentheses

a²x + a - 1 = ax + x ⇒ Subtract a from both sides

a²x - 1 = ax + x - a ⇒ Add 1 to both sides

a²x = ax + x - a + 1 ⇒ Subtract (ax + x) from both sides

a²x - (ax + x)= ax + x - a + 1 - (ax+x) ⇒ Simplify. Remember that multiplying positive by negative = negative

a²x - ax - x = ax + x - a + 1 - ax - x ⇒ Simplify

a²x - ax - x = -a + 1 ⇒ Factor out the x from a²x - ax - x

x(a² - a - 1) = -a + 1 ⇒ Divide both sides by (a² - a - 1)

x = (-a + 1) / (a² - a - 1)

However, we need to make sure that the denominator does not equal 0. Therefore, you set the denominator = 0 (just use the quadratic formula for this), and it gives that the denominator =0 when a = (1+√5)/2 AND (1-√5)/2

Therefore, the final answer is

x = (-a + 1) / (a² - a - 1) given that a ≠ (1+√5)/2, a ≠ (1-√5)/2
