Hello Friends

The question is.

(x+3)/(x^2+3x+2) = 3/(x+3) + 4/(x^2 +4x+3)

Thank you friends

That isn't a question.

I assume you're solving for x. First, factorize the denominators.

ilanshan, I believe you missed my point, it wasn't a question. You just gave an equation, You didn't tell me what to do with it.

Can't we solve it for 3\sqrt{5}+2? :rolleyes:

Factor first:

\frac{x+3}{x^{2}+3x+2}=\frac{3}{x+3}+\frac{4}{x^{2 }+4x+3}

\frac{x+3}{(x+1)(x+2)}=\frac{3}{x+3}+\frac{4}{(x+1 )(x+3)}

The LCD is (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)

Now continue.
