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

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

x = - 10

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x + 2

3 x - 4 (x + 2) = 2

Expand

- 4 (x + 2) : - 4 x - 8

3 x - 4 x - 8 = 2

Add similar elements:

3 x - 4 x = - x

- x - 8 = 2

Move

8

to the right side

- x = 10

Divide both sides by

- 1

x = - 10

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 2

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 10

x^{- 2} + 8 x^{- 1} + 7 = 0

\frac{2 x + 1}{x - 3} = 0

\frac{2 x + 3}{x - 2} = 9

x, \frac{x + y}{x} = y

\frac{0.24}{a} = \frac{6}{x}
