- =
The right denominator is the difference of squares, factors to:
- =
Multiply each term by (x-2)(x+2), cancels the denominators, leaving:
4(x-2) - 6(x+2) = 6
:
4x - 8 - 6x - 12 = 6
:
-2x - 20 = 6
:
-2x = 6 + 20
:
-2x = 26
:
x =
x = -13
:
:
Check solution in original equation
- =
x=-13
- =
:
- =
-.36 - (-.4) = .04
-.36 + .40 = .04
