Question 280606: Show the steps that you would take to solve the following algebraically
3/(x-3)=x/(x-3)-3/2
What potential solution did you obtain?
Explain why this is this not a solution.

Is this what you mean?

multiply by (x-3)
3=x-3*(x-3)/2
3=x-(3x-9)/2
6=2x-3x+9
-3=-x
x=3

It looks like x=3 but it can't be x=3 since the denominator in the original equation would be 0 (3-3)
