Answer:

-1, 2, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the equation as follows: 1/(x-6) + (x/(x-2)) = (4/(x²-8x+12)).

Now, we have, \frac{1}{x-6} +\frac{x}{x-2} = \frac{4}{x^{2}-8x+12 }

⇒\frac{(x-2)+x(x-6)}{(x-2)(x-6)} = \frac{4}{x^{2}-8x+12 }

⇒\frac{x-2+x^{2}-6x }{(x-2)(x-6)} =\frac{4}{(x-2)(x-6)}

⇒\frac{(x-2)(x-6)}{x^{2}-5x-2 }=\frac{(x-2)(x-6)}{4}

⇒(x-2)(x-6)[\frac{1}{x^{2} -5x-2} -\frac{1}{4} ]=0

⇒ (x-2)(x-6) =0 or, [\frac{1}{x^{2} -5x-2} -\frac{1}{4} ]=0

If, (x-2)(x-6) =0, then x=2 or x=6

If, [\frac{1}{x^{2} -5x-2} -\frac{1}{4} ]=0, then x^{2} -5x-2=4

and (x-6)(x+1) =0

Therefore, x=6 or -1

So the solutions for x are -1, 2 6. (Answer)
