Solve for c.
Solution
1) (x+3)/(x^2 +2x -8) +3/(x-2) = 15/(x+4)
x^2 + 2x -8 = x^2 +4x -2x -8 = x(x+4) -2(x+4) = (x-2)(x+4)
So,(x+3)/(x+4)(x-2) +3/(x-2) = 15/(x+4)
taking lcd = (x+4)(x-2) on LHS
{ (x+3) + 3(x+4) }/(x-2)(x+4) = 15/(x+4)
(4x +15)/(x-2)(x+4) = 15/(x+4)
canceling out common factors on both sides:
(4x +15)/(x-2) = 15
4x +15 = 15(x-2)
4x +15 = 15x -30
11x = 45
x = 45/11 (Solution)
2) 3r - 2/(c-d) =2
solve for c
3r -2 = 2/(c-d)
(c-d) = 2/(3r -2)
c = 2/(3r-2) +d
