____+_________=____
x+6 x2 +7x+6 x=1

I got up to

5 2 3
____+__________=_____
x+6 (x+1)(x+6) x+1

I think the next step is

5(x+1) 2 3(x+6)
______+__________=_______
x+6 (x+1)(x+6) x+1

then i'm not sure
 
Re: equations???

Hello, dkarolasz!

Since this is an equation, the work is even easier . . .


\(\displaystyle \L\frac{5}{x\,+\,6} \,+\,\frac{2}{x^2\,+\,7x\,+\,6}\;=\;\frac{3}{x\,+\,1}\)

Multiply through by the common denominator: \(\displaystyle (x\,+\,1)(x\,+\,6)\)

\(\displaystyle \L(x\,+\,1)(x\,+\,6)\cdot\frac{5}{x\,+\,6}\,+\,(x\,+\,1)(x\,+\,6)\cdot\frac{2}{(x\,+\,1)(x\,+\,6)} \;=\;(x\,+\,1)(x\,+\,6)\cdot\frac{3}{x\,+\,1}\)


Reduce: \(\displaystyle \L\:5(x\,+\,1)\,+\,2\;=\;3(x\,+\,6)\)

. . . . . . . . \(\displaystyle \L 5x\,+\,5\,+\,2 \;=\;3x\,+\,18\)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\(\displaystyle \L 2x \;=\;11\)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\(\displaystyle \L x \;=\;\frac{11}{2}\)
