your equation is:

multiply both sides of this equation by (x+3) * (x-3) to get:

simplify this by removing parentheses to get:

combine like terms to get:

add 24x and subtract 72 from both sides of this equation to get:

factor this equation to get:

solve for x to get:

x = -19
x = 6

plug these values into the original equation to confirm they are good.

I confirmed both values and they are both good.

your answer is x = -19 or x = 6.
