You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x/(x^2-4))-1/(x+2)=2 Assuming that this is the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "x/((x+2)(x-2)) - 1/(x+2)=2
\n" ); document.write( "x-(x-2)=2(x^2-4) multiply each side by (x-2)(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "x-x+2=2x^2-8
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2-10=0
\n" ); document.write( "2(x^2-5)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=5
\n" ); document.write( "x=sqrt(5), x=-sqrt(5)
