We have:


(1)/(3x-4) + (1)/(5x+9) = 6.

Multiplying both sides by 3x-4 gives:


1+(3x-4)/(5x+9) = 18x-24.

Multiplying both sides by 5x+9 gives:


5x+9+3x-4 = 90x^2+42x-216

Simplifying and moving all the terms to the right side of the equation gives us:


8x+5 = 90x^2+42x-216


0=90x^2+34x-221.

Plugging into the quadratic formula eventually gives us
-(17)/(90)\pm(1)/(90)√(20179).

So, the answer is
-(17)/(90)\pm(1)/(90)√(20179).
