Hi
Solving for x
{{{9/(x^2-2x-8) + x/(x+2) =2}}}   |Multiplying thru  with  (x-4)(x+2) 
     9 + x(x-4) = 2(x-4)(x+2) 
     9  + x^2 - 4x = 2[x^2 - 2x - 8]
     9  + x^2 - 4x = 2x^2 - 4x - 16   |combining Like terms
          x^2  -25 = 0
          x = ± 5

   9/7 + 5/7 = 14/7 = 2
   9/27 + 5/3 = 9/27 +45/27 = 54/27 = 2
