Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{(3a-b)}{(x-b)}=\frac{1}{(x+1)}\\\\(3a-b)*(x+1)=1*(x-b)\\\\[/tex]

Use FOIL method

3a*x + 3a*1 - b*x -b*1 = x - b

3ax + 3a -bx - b = x -b

3ax - bx -x + 3a - b = -b

x*( 3a - b - 1) + 3a - b = -b

x*( 3a - b - 1) = - b - 3a + b

x*( 3a - b - 1) = -3a

[tex]x=\frac{-3a}{( 3a - b - 1)}[/tex]
