1/(X+3)+4=17/(X+3)
\n" ); document.write( "1/(x+3)-17/(x-3)=-4
\n" ); document.write( "-16/(x+3)=-4 cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "-4(x+3)=-16
\n" ); document.write( "x+3=-16/-4
\n" ); document.write( "x+3=4
\n" ); document.write( "x=4-3
\n" ); document.write( "x=1 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "1/(1+3)+4=17/(1+3)
\n" ); document.write( "1/4+4=17/4
\n" ); document.write( "1/4+16/4=17/4
\n" ); document.write( "17/4=17/4 \n" ); document.write( "
