: Hi!
I am having difficulty with this particular question it asks to: Solve and cheack each of the following. For this problem the answer that I got for it was 24(x+3)=32, though it was wrong. The problem is:
24 72
-- = --
x-3 x+3
Please and Thank You=) This question is from textbook algebra

solve 24/(x-3) = 72/(x+3)
24(x+3) = 72(x-3)
(x+3)=72(x-3)/24
(x+3)=3(x-3)
x+3 = 3x-9
2x = 12
x=6

To check the solution x=6 is correct.
24/(6-3) = 8 = 72/(6+3)
