Question 91
a.

Show that, after multiplying by the common denominator,

83x−2+6x+1=2 \frac{8}{3x - 2} + \frac{6}{x + 1} = 2 3x−28​+x+16​=2

becomes

8(x+1)+6(3x−2)=2(3x−2)(x+1). 8(x+1) + 6(3x-2) = 2(3x-2)(x+1). 8(x+1)+6(3x−2)=2(3x−2)(x+1).

b.

Hence solve

83x−2+6x+1=2 \frac{8}{3x - 2} + \frac{6}{x + 1} = 2 3x−28​+x+16​=2
