You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) We write the equation in the simple way to find the LCD:
.Assuming x different from 3 and -3, multiply both
sides by (x+3)(x-3) and get:<=><=>.
2) Squaring both sides we get:2x+3=25<=>2x=22<=>x=11.
3)Since x=1 is a solution the polynomial is divisible by x-1

To find the other roots we solve the quadratic equation:
<=>. The solution set for the original equation
is:{-1, 1, 2}.
