answer:5,-11/3
-
[12 / (x + 1)] - [10 / (x - 3)] = -3
[12(x - 3) - 10(x + 1)] / [(x + 1)(x - 3)] = -3
12(x - 3) - 10(x + 1) = -3(x + 1)(x - 3)
12x - 36 - 10x - 10 = -3(x^2 - 2x - 3)
2x - 46 = -3x^2 + 6x + 9
3x^2 - 4x - 55 = 0
(3x + 11)(x - 5) = 0
x = {-11/3, 5}
[12(x - 3) - 10(x + 1)] / [(x + 1)(x - 3)] = -3
12(x - 3) - 10(x + 1) = -3(x + 1)(x - 3)
12x - 36 - 10x - 10 = -3(x^2 - 2x - 3)
2x - 46 = -3x^2 + 6x + 9
3x^2 - 4x - 55 = 0
(3x + 11)(x - 5) = 0
x = {-11/3, 5}
