Question 107634: Determine whether the equation is an identity, a conditional equation, or an inconsistant equation.
1/(x+5) + 2/(x+3) = -2/(x^2 + 8x +15)

Since (x+5) is in the denominator on the right hand side of the equation,
we made the assumption that x=-5 and x=-3 were not solutions to avoid division by zero.
Since we derived that x=-5, there is no solution(inconsistent).
