Start with the given equation.
Factor the first denominator
Multiply EVERY term by the LCD
Multiply and simplify
Distribute
Combine like terms.
FOIL
Get everything to the right side
Combine like terms.
Factor
or Set each factor equal to zero
or Solve for "x" in each case
So the possible solutions are or
However, if you plug in , you'll see that a division by zero occurs. So is NOT a solution (it's not even in the domain)
So the only solution is
