Question

Solve each equation. Check each solution.

1. 2/( x + 3 ) + 5/( 3 - x ) = 6/( x^2 - 9 )

I got x= 9/7. When I plugged in that value for x, it doesn't equal each other so it has no solution, unless I did the problem wrong.

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2 }{ x+3 } + \frac{ 5 }{ 3-x } = \frac{ 6 }{ x ^{2} - 9 }\]

Answer 2

first do the left side

Answer 3

{2(3-x) +5(3+x)}/(9-x^2) =-6/(9-x^)
6-2x+15+5x=-6
3x+21=-6
3x=-27
x=-9

Answer 4

I see what I did wrong. Thank you for your help!
