(X+2)/(X-3)=(X-5)/X+3)
\n" ); document.write( "(X-3)(X-5)=(X+2)(X+3)
\n" ); document.write( "X^2-8X+15=X^2+5X+6
\n" ); document.write( "X^2-X^2-8X-5X=6-15
\n" ); document.write( "-13X=-9
\n" ); document.write( "X=9/13
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "(9/13+2)/(9/13-3)=(9/13-5)/(9/13+3)
\n" ); document.write( "(35/13)/(-30/13)=(-56/13)/(48/13)
\n" ); document.write( "(-30/13)(-56/13)=(35/13)(48/13)
\n" ); document.write( "1680/13=1680/13 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
