$\"%28x-2%29%2Fx+=+4+-+%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Combine right side into 1 fraction: common denominator of (x-3)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%2Fx+=+4%28x-3%29%2F%28x-3%29+-+%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x-3%29\"$

\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%2Fx+=+%284x+-12+-+x+-4%29%2F%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%2Fx+=+%283x+-16%29%2F%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cross-Multiply, this will get rid of fractions
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%28x-3%29+=+x%283x-16%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+-+5x+%2B6+=+3x%5E2+-+16x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Move everything to one side or set equation equal to zero.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2+-+11x+-+6+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve quadratic by factoring or quadratic formula:
\n" ); document.write( "This factors, 2*-6 = -12 AND -12 + 1 = -11
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2+-12x+%2Bx+-+6+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%28x-6%29+%2B+%28x-6%29+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x%2B1%29%28x-6%29+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1=0 --> x = -1/2
\n" ); document.write( "x-6 =0 --> x = 6
