Factor the denominator in the RHS.



Apply the LCD



Multiply by the common denominator:



Distribute, collect all terms in the LHS



Factor and solve the quadratic:



Hence



or



But -1 causes a zero denominator and therefore is excluded from the domain of both the LHS and RHS functions i the original equation. Therefore exclude -1 as a root. The solution set consists of the single value 3.
