can you answer this please, find the value of x? (4x+1/x+1)-3=12/(x^2-1)

Question

(4x+1/x+1)-3=12/(x^2-1)

Answer 1

4x + 1 - 3 =        12          

x + 1            (x + 1)(x - 1)

Multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD, which is (x + 1)(x - 1).

(4x + 1)((x - 1) - 3(x² - 1) = 12

4x² - 3x - 1 - 3x² + 3 = 12

x² -3x - 10 = 0

(x - 5)(X + 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0   or   x + 2 = 0

x = 5     or   x = -2
