A
Solve the following equation with unknown \(x\) and a real parameter \(a\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\{-1\}\). \[\frac{x} {a+1} = x - a\]
\(\begin{array}{cc} \hline \text{Parameter} & \text{Solution set}\\ \hline a=0 & \mathbb{R} \\ a\notin\{-1;0\} & \{a+1\} \\\hline \end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{cc} \hline \text{Parameter} & \text{Solution set}\\ \hline a=0 & \mathbb{R} \\ a\notin\{-1;0\} & \emptyset \\\hline \end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{cc} \hline \text{Parameter} & \text{Solution set}\\ \hline a=0 & \emptyset \\ a\notin\{-1;0\} & \{a+1\} \\\hline \end{array}\)
