Question 344059: Solve by multiplying both side by the LCD.
x+3/x-1 + x+4/x+1 = 8x+5/x^2-1


My Work: (x+1)(x+3)+(x-1)(x+4)=8x+5
2x^2-7x-1=8x+5
2x^2-15x-6=0
no solution
Is this correct please help thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B3%29%2B%28x-1%29%28x%2B4%29=8x%2B5
%28x%5E2%2B4x%2B3%29%2B%28x%5E2%2B3x-4%29=8x%2B5
2x%5E2%2B7x-1=8x%2B5 <--- You had (-7x)
2x%5E2-x-6=0
%282x%2B3%29%28x-2%29=0
Use the zero product property to solve for the two solutions.
