solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F%28x%2B3%29\"$ - $\"1%2F%28x%5E2-9%29\"$ = $\"1%2F%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the 2nd denominator is the difference of square and will factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F%28x%2B3%29\"$ - $\"1%2F%28%28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29%29\"$ = $\"1%2F%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by (x-3)(x+3) and you have
\n" ); document.write( "3(x-3) - 1 = x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "multiply what's inside the brackets
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 9 - 1 = x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 10 = x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "3x - x = 3 + 10
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 13
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6.5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
