Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 4/p - 4

multiplying through by p,

p×p + 4/p ×p - 4×p

p² + 4 - 4p = 0

p² - 4p + 4 = 0

factorizing,

p(p - 2) -2(p - 2) =0

(p -2)(p -2) =0

p-2 =0

p=2

Subtract the rational expression 1/x^2-x-6 - x/x+2.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - x -6 = x² + 2x - 3x - 3*2

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

= (x + 2 )(x - 3)

$\frac{1}{x^{2}-x-6}+\frac{x}{x+2}=\frac{1}{(x +2 )(x - 3)}-\frac{x}{x + 2}\\$

$= \frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}-\frac{x(x-3)}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\=\frac{1-x(x-3)}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\=\frac{1-x^{2}+3x}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\$
