Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First, subtract 6 from both sides

-4x + 6 (-6) = -38 (-6)

-4x = -38 - 6

-4x = -44

Next, fully isolate the x by dividing -4 from both sides

(-4x)/-4 = (-44)/-4

x = -44/-4

x = 11

11 is your answer for x.

<h3>What is an Expression ?</h3>

An expression are mathematical statement consisting of variables , constants and mathematical operators .

The given expression is

$\rm \dfrac{2}{x^2-36} - \dfrac{1}{x^2 +6x} = \dfrac{2}{(x+6)(x-6)}-\dfrac{1}{x(x+a)}\\\\= \dfrac{bx}{x(x+6)(x-6)}-\dfrac{x-c}{(x+6)(x+6)x}\\\\= \dfrac{dx-x+e}{x(x+6)(x-6)}\\\\= \dfrac{x+f}{x(x+6)(x-6)}\\\\= \dfrac{g}{x(x-6)}$
