To solve this equation, we will first combine the fractions on the left side by finding a common denominator.
(9*x)/(x+2) + 8/(x+2) - x = 0
Combine the fractions:
(9x + 8)/(x+2) - x = 0
Now, find a common denominator for the fractions on the left side (x+2):
(9x + 8 - x(x+2))/(x+2) = 0
Expand the numerator:
(9x + 8 - x^2 - 2x)/(x+2) = 0
Combine like terms:
(7x + 8 - x^2)/(x+2) = 0
Now, set the numerator equal to 0:
7x + 8 - x^2 = 0
Rearrange the terms:
-x^2 + 7x + 8 = 0
Now, solve for x by factoring or using the quadratic formula:
x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0(x-8)(x+1) = 0
Therefore, x = 8 or x = -1.
So the solutions to the equation are x = 8 and x = -1.
