Question
Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:
$\frac{\text{x}-3}{\text{x}+3}-\frac{\text{x}+3}{\text{x}-3}=\frac{48}{7},$ $\text{x}\neq3,\text{x}\neq-3$
✓

Answer

$\frac{\text{x}-3}{\text{x}+3}-\frac{\text{x}+3}{\text{x}-3}=\frac{48}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}-3}{\text{x}+3}-\frac{\text{x}+3}{\text{x}-3}=\frac{48}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}-3)^2-(\text{x}+3)^2}{(\text{x}+3)(\text{x}-3)}=\frac{48}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}^2-6\text{x}+9-\text{x}^2-6\text{x}-9}{\text{x}^2-9}=\frac{48}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-12\text{x}}{\text{x}^2-9}=\frac{48}{7}$
$\Rightarrow 48x^2 + 84x - 432 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 4x^2 + 7x - 36 = 0$ (Dividing by $12$)
$\Rightarrow 4x^2 + 16x - 9x - 36 = 0$
$\begin{cases}\because36\times4=-144\\\therefore-144=16\times-9\\7=16-9\end{cases}$
$\Rightarrow 4x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (x + 4)(4x - 9) = 0$
Either $x + 4 = 0$, then $x = -4$
or $4x - 9 = 0$, then $4x = 9$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{9}{4}$
$\therefore$ Roots are $-4$, $\frac{9}{4}$
