3-a= 2/a

3 - a = \frac{2}{a}

a = 1, a = 2

Solution steps

3 - a = \frac{2}{a}

Multiply both sides by

a

3 a - a^{2} = 2

Solve

3 a - a^{2} = 2 : a = 1, a = 2

a = 1, a = 2

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

a = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

a = 1, a = 2

8 - \frac{8}{x ^{2}} = 0

- \frac{10 x}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{2}} = 0

1 + \frac{5}{x - 1} = \frac{3 x + 7}{x ^{2} - 1}

\frac{x}{x - 8} - \frac{2}{8 - x} = 2

x^{3} - x^{2} - \frac{8}{x ^{3} - x ^{2}} = 2
