You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve for x: (4/x^2-1)=(2/x-1)-(3/x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(4/x^2-1)=(2/x-1)-(3/x+1) Is it (2/x)+1, or 2/(x+1)?
\n" ); document.write( "I'll assume the latter.
\n" ); document.write( "4/(x^2-1) = 2/(x-1) - 3/(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F%28%28x-1%29%2A%28x%2B1%29%29+=+2%2F%28x-1%29+-+3%2F%28x%2B1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by (x-1)*(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 2(x+1) - 3(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 2x+2 - 3x+3
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 5x +5
\n" ); document.write( "5x = -1
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1/5\r
