Problem

The equality $\frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{2}{x-2}$ is satisfied by:

$\textbf{(A)}\ \text{no real values of }x\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \text{either }x=1\text{ or }x=2\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \text{only }x=1\\ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{only }x=2\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{only }x=0$

Solution

From this equality, we get ${x-1}*2={x-2}$ *1
