Answer: x = -5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If you factor each denominator, you can find the LCM.

\dfrac{2}{x^2-x-12}=\dfrac{1}{x^2-16}\\\\\\\dfrac{2}{(x-4)(x+3)}=\dfrac{1}{(x-4)(x+4)}\\\\\\\text{The LCM is (x-4)(x+4)(x+3)}\\\\\\\dfrac{2}{(x-4)(x+3)}\bigg(\dfrac{x+4}{x+4}\bigg)=\dfrac{1}{(x-4)(x+4)}\bigg(\dfrac{x+3}{x+3}\bigg)\\\\\\\dfrac{2(x+4)}{(x-4)(x+4)(x+3)}=\dfrac{1(x+3)}{(x-4)(x+4)(x+3)}\\

Now that the denominators are equal, we can clear the denominator and set the numerators equal to each other.

2(x + 4) = 1(x + 3)

2x + 8 = x + 3

x  + 8 =       3

x        =      -5
