The original equation is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=4e210856eac2dd00c4af8940fdbda218.png\")
and value of x is -1.
To check the solution of the equation, substitute the value of x=-1 in the original equation.

.
The above statement is true, so x=-1 is a solution of the original equation.
