: This one is asking to solve and check of the equations for x
5/x+6 +2/x^2+7x+6 = 3/x+1
I have so far
5(x+6)=2(x+1)-3
x^2-5x=2x-20-3
This is not looking right can you help This question is from textbook algebra

Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5/(x+6) + 2/(x^2+7x+6) = 3/(x+1)
5/(x+6) + 2/[(x+6)(x+1)] = 3/(x+1)
Multiply thru by (x+6)(x+1) to get:
5(x+1) + 2 = 3(x+6)
5x+5+2 = 3x+18
2x = 11
x = 11/2
