Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is
intended to be used on both sides of the equation.
\[
\frac{2x + 1}
{x - 1} + \frac{x + 1}
{x - 1} = \frac{11}
{2}
\]
multiply by \(2(x - 1)\),
assuming \(x\neq 1\)
multiply by \((2x + 1)\),
assuming \(x\neq -\frac{1}
{2}\)
multiply by \((x + 1)\),
assuming \(x\neq - 1\)
multiply by \(\frac{1}
{2x+1}\),
assuming \(x\neq -\frac{1}
{2}\)
multiply by \(\frac{1}
{x+1}\),
assuming \(x\neq - 1\)
multiply by \(2(2x + 1)(x + 1)\),
assuming \(x\neq -\frac{1}
{2}\)
and \(x\neq - 1\)
