solve the equation. check your answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F%28b-2%29+-+5%2F%28b%2B7%29+=+2%2F%28b%5E2%2B5b-14%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Factor the quadratic denominator
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F%28b-2%29+-+5%2F%28b%2B7%29+=+2%2F%28%28b%2B7%29%28b-2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by (b+7)(b-2), results:
\n" ); document.write( "2(b+7) - 5(b-2) = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2b + 14 - 5b + 10 = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2b - 5b + 24 = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-3b = 2 - 24
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-3b = -22
\n" ); document.write( "b = \"%28-22%29%2F%28-3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "b = +7\"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you check this, substitute 7.33 for b in the original problem
