Sorry mate, I'm kidding.
It's your maths however, if you weren't expected to know, you wouldn't be given it.

The answer is do your own homework.
Or it might be 42

Not quite sure what's going on there, but if you're asking what I THINK you are then:

The denominators are equal, so as long as:

x != 1 and
x != -2 then:

you have

3x = x(a+b) -a +2b

so:

x(3-a-b) = -a +2b

hence:

x = (2b-a)/(3-a-b)

If x=1 or x=-2, then you have a singular problem, which has no solution.

It's not my math, it's someone elses.

I'm merely trying to help out.

Some people really have a bee in their bonnet :/

Cheers mate, i'll check the question to see if I posted everything. Thanks for taking the time though to respond positively.

Sorry lol.

If my workings help you to get poon, then you better at least throw me some sloppy seconds!

He's doing his own maths, his 1 into her 0.

Next time maybe don't post a massive image, just the text. And try to explain what the actual question is asking, it's really not clear from your post.

Why is maths so urgent on a sunday? Text the problem to Any Question Answered and ask them to show their work. Costs £1

This

In the first part, is it meant to be 3x/(x+2)(x-1) or 3x(x+2)(x-1)?

The layout/formatting isn't very clear atm.

Its still Maths.
Comes from Mathematics
Not Mathematic.
