You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your notation is a little odd for this problem. I am not sure if they are fractions or two seperate problems.
\n" ); document.write( "I will answer this question as though they are fractions written as $\"%28%28x-3%29%2F%282%5E3%29%29%2A%281%2F%28%28x-3%29%5E2%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "by looking at this problem we see that we can cancel out an x-3 from each fraction leaving us
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F%282%5E3%29%29%2A%281%2F%28x-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "from $\"2%5E3=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F%288%2A%28x-3%29%29\"$ distribute the 8
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F%288x-24%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
