Assume the problem is:
- =
:
Multiply equation by x(x-6):
x(x-6)* - x(x-6)* = x(x-6)*
Results:
(x-6)(x-2) - x(x-3) = (x-6)
:
x^2 - 8x + 12 - x^2 + 3x = x - 6
:
x^2 - x^2 - 8x + 3x - x = -6 - 12
:
-6x = -18
:
6x = 18
x =
x = 3
:
You can confirm the solution by substituting 3 for x in the original equation
