For this problem, we are able to use combining -like terms to be able to solve for x.
00:07
To start, let's see if there's any exclusions from the denominator.
00:11
X plus 2 cannot equal 0, since 0 is not allowed in the denominator.
00:19
So if we subtract over 2, x cannot equal negative 2.
00:27
So we will keep this in mind when solving.
00:31
To start, we can combine.
00:33
The like terms by subtracting over negative 2 over x plus 2.
00:43
On the right side of the equation, it will equal 0 and cross out.
00:49
On the left side, we are able to subtract the numerators since the denominators are like terms.
00:59
So this will equal 3x minus 2 all over x plus 2, minus 4 equals 0.
01:22
I'm going to add over the 4, so x's will be on the left side of the equation...
