With your partner, discuss each step of the process of solving the given equation and explain your steps in English in the right hand column. Try to reach an agreement on the language you wish to use BEFORE writing your explanations

X - 2                      =               6 ____
( X -  4)                              X*2 - X - 12
 
 

X - 2              =                    6       
 X - 4                          (X -4)(X + 3)
 
 

LCD= (X + 3)(X - 4)
 
 
 

(X+3)(X-4) ( X - 2 )       =        6(X+3)(X-4)
 (X- 4)                                        (X-4)(X+3)
 
 
 
 

X*2  +3X -2X -6  = 6
 
 
 
 

X*2  + X - 12 = 0
 
 

(X + 4)(X - 3) = 0
 

X = -4;      X = 3
