Rather than do your problem for you, I will instead do one EXACTLY like yours, step by step. Instead of yours I will do this one:We factor the denominator and set up for partial fractions: } Clear fractions: Equate the coefficients of x: Equate the constant terms Solve the system of equations by substitution: A=5-3B, 4A-B=7 4(5-3B)-B=7 20-12B-B=7 20-13B=7 -13B=-13 B=1 A=5-3(1) A=5-3 A=2 } Edwin
