Original question and givens

Over Q, the original equation is ((-9)x+(4))/(x−(1))=-1. Exclude x=h=1; ordered queries=[1/1, 3/2, 3/1]. Give (domain-eligibility mask, original residuals or undefined, cross-multiplied residuals, original-solution mask), keeping each list’s order.

  • G001 — Over Q, the original equation is ((-9)x+(4))/(x−(1))=-1. Exclude x=h=1; ordered queries=[1/1, 3/2, 3/1]. Give (domain-eligibility mask, original residuals or undefined, cross-multiplied residuals, original-solution mask), keeping each list’s order.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

common rational domain with original equation definitions

After

evaluate/classify the given model without enlarging its original domain

Conditions: none

Original definedness precedes substitution and transformations.Check the declared model,not arbitrary equation solving inferred from cross multiplication or one-point values.
