3 = 2 -- -- x-2 x-3 we can get rid of the fractions by multiply each term by the lcm of x-2 and x-3 which is (x-2)(x-3) 3(x-2)(x-3) 2(x-2)(x-3) -------- = --------- (x-2) x-3 3(x-3) = 2(x-2) 3x -9 = 2x - 4 the rest is easy
add 3x to the other side to get x and then -4 to the other side -5 x=-5?
positive 5
right
you can solve any fractional equation by this method
