Question 34913
{{{ 5/(x-2) - 2/(x+2) = 3/(x^2-4) }}}
{{{ 5/(x-2) - 2/(x+2) = 3/((x+2)(x-2)) }}}


Now multiply every term by (x+2)(x-2):
{{{ (5(x+2)(x-2))/(x-2) - (2(x+2)(x-2))/(x+2) = (3(x+2)(x-2))/((x+2)(x-2)) }}}
{{{ 5(x+2) - 2(x-2) = 3 }}}
{{{ 5x+10-2x+4 = 3 }}}
{{{ 3x+10+4 = 3 }}}
{{{ 3x+14 = 3 }}}
{{{ 3x = -11 }}}
{{{ x = -11/3 }}}
