Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "f (x)= x/x-3 - 8/x-2
\n" ); document.write( "Common denominator
\n" ); document.write( "= (x - 3)(x - 2)
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "x(x - 2) -8(x - 3)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x -8x + 24
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 10x + 24
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 10x + 24 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x - 6)(x - 4) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x - 6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x - 4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6,4.
\n" ); document.write( "for f(x) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
