Question

Solve the equation. (1 over 3x + 9) – (2 over x + 3) = 2
A.x = 1
B.x = –23/6
C.x = –5/2
D.x = –5
I got -1/9 and that's not one of the answers. What did I do wrong? What's the corrects answer?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3x+9 } - \frac{ 2 }{x+3 } =2\]

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 1 }{3 (x+3) } - \frac{ 2 }{ x+3 } = 2\]
