Multiplying both sides of the equal sign times ,
you get an equivalent equation, except that you may get some extraneous solution(s) that would make the LCD and some denominator equal to zero.
The equivalent equation and solution follow.

The polynomial on the left can be factored to get

So either ---> ,
or ---> .
Both answers are valid since they do not make any denominator equal to zero.
