Solve and check for X:
:

:
you can factor x^2 - 2x so you have
=
:
Multiply thru by x(x-2) you have:
x(x) - (x-2)(x+1) = 8
:
FOIL (x-2)(x+1):
x^2 - (x^2 - x - 2) = 8
x^2 - x^2 + x + 2 = 8; there is a minus so change the signs inside the brackets
:
x + 2 = 8
x = 8 - 2
x = 6
:
:
Check our solution in the original equation:
=
:
=
:
=
:
Using the common denominator
=
