Question

What are the steps to simplify 1-2/x-2=x+1/x+2?
Plz help ASAP!!!

Answer 1

`-x^3+x^2+x-6=0`

Explanation:

Algebra

The equation is shown without proper format, we'll assume the correct equation is like

`\displaystyle 1-(2)/(x-2)=x+(1)/(x+2)`

Multiplying all the equation by (x-2)(x+2)

`(x-2)(x+2)-2(x+2)=x(x-2)(x+2)+(x-2)`

Operating

`x^2-4-2x-4=x^3-4x+x-2`

Rearranging and simplifying

`\boxed{-x^3+x^2+x-6=0}`
