It would be best if you were to enclose each denominator inside parentheses.  Otherwise I have to take an educated guess regarding what you meant:

                                      1        1               x - 2
<span>1/x+1/x-3=x-2/x-3  =>  ----- + ------ =     ----------
                                       x       x-3            x - 3

The LCD here is x(x-3).

x-3            x          x(x-2)
------- + --------- = -------------
LCD        LCD       LCD

Then x-3+x=x^2 -3x,         or           2x-3=x^2-3x        or     x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0


Using the quadratic formula to solve for x:

        5 plus or minus sqrt(25-4(1)(-3)
x = --------------------------------------------
                             2

          5 plus or minus sqrt( 25 + 12)
   = --------------------------------------------
                             2

There are 2 solutions.  Complete the arithmetic to find them.
  Be sure to check both answers via subst. into the original equation.

To test her math skills, Isabella’s father told her he would give her 6/8 of
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

0.75 cents is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding a fraction of an amount, the key rule to remember is to divide the amount by the denominator and multiply your answer by the numerator. If asked to increase or decrease an amount by a fraction make sure you add or subtract from the original amount at the end of the question! :)
