Let’s check out your problem:

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

(e) x3x+3=x2x+2 \frac{x-3}{x+3}=\frac{x-2}{x+2}

Full solution

Q. (e) x3x+3=x2x+2 \frac{x-3}{x+3}=\frac{x-2}{x+2}
  1. Cross-multiply fractions: Step 11: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions.\newline(x3)(x+2)=(x2)(x+3)(x - 3)(x + 2) = (x - 2)(x + 3)
  2. Expand and simplify: Step 22: Expand both sides of the equation.x2+2x3x6=x2+3x2x6x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = x^2 + 3x - 2x - 6
  3. Combine like terms: Step 33: Simplify by combining like terms. x2x6=x2+x6x^2 - x - 6 = x^2 + x - 6
  4. Subtract and simplify: Step 44: Subtract x2x^2 from both sides to simplify further.\newlinex6=x6-x - 6 = x - 6
  5. Isolate the variable: Step 55: Add 66 to both sides.\newlinex=x-x = x
  6. Add and solve: Step 66: Add xx to both sides to isolate the variable.\newline0=2x0 = 2x
  7. Final solution: Step 77: Divide both sides by 22 to solve for xx.x=0x = 0
