3/(x+2)= 4/(x-2)

\frac{3}{x + 2} = \frac{4}{x - 2}

x = - 14

Solution steps

\frac{3}{x + 2} = \frac{4}{x - 2}

Cross multiply

3 x - 6 = 4 x + 8

Move

6

to the right side

3 x = 4 x + 14

Move

4 x

to the left side

- x = 14

Divide both sides by

- 1

x = - 14

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 2, x = 2

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 14

\frac{m + 5}{m + 2} = 2

\frac{5}{x + 2} = \frac{2}{x + 2} + 3

x - 3 = \frac{x - 3}{x + 3}

\frac{1}{3 x + 4} = x - 2

\frac{- 7}{4 x} + \frac{5}{6 x} = 1
