Answer 5

Ah. That means that one of the answers can be wrong, but could you put parentheses around parts of the equations that are together, like so?
\[1/(x-6)\]

Answer 6

yes :) i meant to put them around it . but how do i exactly solve this equation? can yu explain the steps to help me solve this. first i know yu half to cross multiply

Answer 7

which should give you (x-6)(x+6)/ (x-6) + (x-6)(x+6)/(x+6)

Answer 8

have*

Answer 9

Had to go eat, give me a couple minutes to work it out.

Answer 10

Are you sure that's the equation? I seem to be hitting a block with those numbers.

Answer 11

Unless the equation is 1/(x-6) + 1/(x+6) = 36/((x+6)(x-6))

Answer 12

in which case, I'll rework it.

Answer 13

Alright, I've gotten the answer. How far have you gotten?

Answer 14

Here's what I drew on my whiteboard, in step by step form, color coded, and the purple denotes the "why" of the step. Hope it makes sense!
