x/x-2 + x-1/x+1 = -1

Least common denominator is (x-2)(x+1)
Multiply this times each term.

After cancelling the like factors from numerator and denominator, you get

Simplify the equation:

Add the opposite of all the terms on the right side to each side of the equation:

Factor out the GCF:

Set each factor equal to zero and solve:
or 
x = 0 or x = 1
After checking each answer in the original equation you will see both numbers work.  It's important to check because sometimes the answers can be extraneous (they don't work).
