Multiply everything by (n-3)(n-5)
\n" ); document.write( "n^2-25-(n^2-9)=16(n^2-8n+15)
\n" ); document.write( "-16=16n^2-128n+240
\n" ); document.write( "16n^2-128n+256=0
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 16
\n" ); document.write( "n^2-8n+16=0
\n" ); document.write( "(n-4)^2=0
\n" ); document.write( "n=4
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "9/1-(7/-1)=16
\n" ); document.write( "
