%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x-2%29%2B+4%2F%28x-2%29+%2B+4=0 Start with the given equation


x%2B2%2B+4+%2B+4%28x-2%29=0 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD x-2 to clear out the fractions.


x%2B2%2B4%2B4x-8=0 Distribute.


5x-2=0 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=0%2B2 Add 2 to both sides.


5x=2 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%282%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.
