To solve this equation, we need to first combine like terms and simplify the expression on both sides of the equation.
Given equation: x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x - 3)/x = 3/32
Combining like terms in the equation, we get:
x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x - 3)/x = 3/32= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x - 3)/x= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x - 3)(x + 3)/(x(x + 3))= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x^2 - 9)/(x(x + 3))= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x^2 - 9)/(x^2 + 3x)
Now, we can simplify the equation by finding a common denominator and combining the fractions:
= x - 3(x(x + 3))/(x(x + 3)) + 6(x)/x(x + 3) - (x^2 - 9)/x(x + 3)= (x(x + 3) - 3x(x + 3) + 6x - x^2 + 9)/(x(x + 3))
Simplifying further:
= (x^2 + 3x - 3x^2 - 9x + 6x - x^2 + 9)/(x(x + 3))= (-2x + 6)/(x(x + 3))
Now, the equation becomes:
(-2x + 6)/(x(x + 3)) = 3/32
To solve this equation, cross multiply:
32(-2x + 6) = 3(x)(x + 3)
-64x + 192 = 3x^2 + 9x3x^2 + 9x + 64x - 192 = 03x^2 + 73x - 192 = 0
Now, we have a quadratic equation 3x^2 + 73x - 192 = 0. We can solve this using the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
Where a = 3, b = 73, and c = -192.
Plugging these values into the formula gives:
x = (-73 ± √(73^2 - 43(-192))) / (2*3)x = (-73 ± √(5329 + 2304)) / 6x = (-73 ± √7633) / 6
Therefore, the solutions for x are:
x = (-73 + √7633) / 6x = (-73 - √7633) / 6
To solve this equation, we need to first combine like terms and simplify the expression on both sides of the equation.

Combining like terms in the equation, we get:
x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x - 3)/x = 3/32
= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x - 3)/x
= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x - 3)(x + 3)/(x(x + 3))
= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x^2 - 9)/(x(x + 3))
= x - 3 + 6/(x + 3) - (x^2 - 9)/(x^2 + 3x)
Now, we can simplify the equation by finding a common denominator and combining the fractions:
= x - 3(x(x + 3))/(x(x + 3)) + 6(x)/x(x + 3) - (x^2 - 9)/x(x + 3)

= (-2x + 6)/(x(x + 3))
