Question 22919: I did this text question but I want to make sure iots correct can you help here is my work
X/X squared+7x+12+ 2/x+3+ 4/x+4 I factored the X squared+7x+12 and gotx+4)(x+3)
LCD = (x+4) (X+3)
X+2(x+4)=4(x+3)
x+2x+8=4x+12
3x+8=4x+12
3x=4x+4
-1x=4
x=-4

This is correct, except for a couple of equal signs that should have been plus signs. I fixed those for you. Now, since this is a fractional equation, you have to check the answers to make sure you didn't accidentally divide by zero. There are certain values of x that are NOT acceptable. In this problem, x cannot equal -4, so you have to reject this answer, since it makes a denominator zero--NOT allowed! The answer is NO SOLUTION!
