Answer:

x=-9/7

Explanation:

In this problem, the trick is to make all the denominators equal.

It will be tricky but remember that you can use factoring to equal them out.

And when you get that done, you ignore the denominators and just solve for x.

I would lovee brainliet answer though, so yea... And btw I took the test already and got it correct :)
