\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First we multiply by our three different denominators (z-3),(z-1),(z-2) to clear fractions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(z-1)(z-2)+5(z-2)(z-3)=8(z-1)(z-3)
\n" ); document.write( "now time to foil
\n" ); document.write( "3(z^2-1x-2x+2)+5(z^2-2z-3z+6)=8(z^2-1z-3z+3)
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "3(z^2-3z+2)+5(z^2-5z+6)=8(z^2-4z+3)
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the number to each term in the parentheses.
\n" ); document.write( "3z^2-9z+6+5z^2-25z+30=8z^2-32z+24
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "8z^2-34z+36=8z^2-32z+24
\n" ); document.write( "Solve
\n" ); document.write( "12 = 2z
\n" ); document.write( "6 = z
