Factorize Denominator: Simplify the numerator on the left side: 3x−9−2x.
Cross Multiply: This simplifies to x−9 in the numerator, so we have (x−9)/(x(x−3))=(12)/(9−x2).
Expand Left Side: Recognize that 9−x2 is a difference of squares and can be factored into (3−x)(3+x).
Simplify Equation: Now we have (x−9)/(x(x−3))=(12)/((3−x)(3+x)).
Combine Like Terms: Cross multiply to get rid of the fractions: x\(-9)(3-x)(3+x)=12x(x−3)\.
Set Equation to Zero: Expand the left side: (x−9)(9−x2)=12x2−36x.
Factorize Cubic Equation: Notice that (x−9)(9−x2) is the same as −(x−9)(x2−9) because 9−x2 is −(x2−9).
