1/(2X-4)+1/(X-2)=3/2 COMBINE THE 2 FRACTIONS BY FINDING A COMMON DENOMINATOR WHICH IS (2X-4)(X-2).
\n" ); document.write( "(X-2+2X-4)/(2X-4)(X-2)=3/2
\n" ); document.write( "(3X-6)/(2X^2-8X+8)=3/2 NOW CROSS MULTIPLY
\n" ); document.write( "3(2X^2-8X+8)=2(3X-6)
\n" ); document.write( "6X^2-24X+24=6X-12
\n" ); document.write( "6X^2-24X-6X+24+12=0
\n" ); document.write( "6X^2-30X+36=0
\n" ); document.write( "6(X^2-5X+6)=0
\n" ); document.write( "6(X-3)(X-2)=0
\n" ); document.write( "X-3=0
\n" ); document.write( "X=3 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "X-2=0
\n" ); document.write( "X=2 ANSWER.\r
