2x/x^2-4=4/x^2-4-3/x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it -(3/x+2) or (x^2-4-3)/x+2 ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so its 4/(x^2-4-3)/(x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x \\ x^2-4)=\frac4{ x^2-4 }{ ? }-\frac3{ x+2 }{ ? }\]

i got x=+/- 2. do you know the answer? just im not sure i understood where the brackets were coz it popped up as a bunch of symbols?!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me how you did it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure if you'll read this but you want to get rid of the denominators. multiplying everything by (x^2-4)(x-2) will do that. Then simplify as normal.
