Solve the equation and check your solution: +=
I'll give you more than a start!

1) Factor the denominator on the right side

2) Look at the factored denominator on the right side and the 2 denominators on the left side and determine the LCD

3) Use the LCD to clear the fractions and get a simple LINEAR equation

4) Solve that simple LINEAR equation for x
