Question

Solve the equation and check the solution:
a/(a^2-36)+2/(a-6) = 1/(a+6)

How should I start this?

Answer 1

okay : wat can u write a^2-36 as?

Answer 2

it factors too (a-6) (a+6)

Answer 3

good now u can take (a-6) common!

Answer 4

are u getting it?

Answer 5

\[\dfrac{a}{(a-6) (a+6)} + \dfrac{2}{(a-6)} = \dfrac{1}{(a+6)}\]

What do I do from there?
