Hopefully this is the correct representation of your problem. Try to add more parenthesis next time so it is more clear.
%282x%2B4%29%2F%28x-3%29=%282x%2B2%29%2F%28x%2B4%29
Multiply each side of equation by (x-3):
%282x%2B4%29=%28%282x%2B2%29%28x-3%29%29%2F%28x%2B4%29
Multiply each side of equation by (x+4):
%282x%2B4%29%28x%2B4%29=%282x%2B2%29%28x-3%29
Simplify:
2x%5E2%2B12x%2B16=2x%5E2-4x-6
Get all the x terms on one side of the equation:
2x%5E2-2x%5E2%2B12x%2B4x=-6-16
Simplify:
16x=-22
x=-22%2F16
highlight%28x=-11%2F8%29

Good Luck,
