Start with

We observe that both fractions are not defined if
. So, we will assume
.
We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:

We multiply both sides by
:

We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:

We check the solution:

which is true
............ ........... .
It should be A. You would keep the 5, and the exponent should be 4+8, which is 12.
We can start by getting rid of parenthesis:
4x-3x+6=21
Then we can combine like terms:
x=21-6
x=15
So our end product is x=15.
Hope I helped soz if I'm wrong ouo.
