You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the solution set of the equation?
Question:: Is this what you meant to post?
=====
(x-2)/(x+4) = 2 - (4/x)
-----
Multiply thru by x(x+4) to get:
x(x-2) = 2x(x+4) - 4(x+4)
-----
x^2 - 2x = 2x^2 + 8x - 4x - 16
-----
x^2 + 6x - 16 = 0
----
(x+8)(x-2) = 0
----
x = 2 or x = -8
