I got all the way simplified to 4x-31/(x+3)(x-8)=3/x-8.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4/x+3-1/x^2-5x-24=3/x-8
\n" ); document.write( "Factor.
\n" ); document.write( "4/x+3-1/(x-8)(x+3)=3/x-8
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the missing.
\n" ); document.write( "4(x-8)/(x-8)(x+3)-1/(x-8)(x+3)=3/x-8
\n" ); document.write( "Combine
\n" ); document.write( "4x-32-1/(x-8)(x+3)=3/x-8
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "4x-31/(x-8)(x+3)=3/x-8
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side by x-8
\n" ); document.write( "4x-31/x+3=3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side by x+3
\n" ); document.write( "4x-31=3x+9
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3x
\n" ); document.write( "x-31=9
\n" ); document.write( "Add 31
\n" ); document.write( "x=40\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "LCD is (x-8)(x+3) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
