\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Solve the equation.

\

$\"\"$ (Original equation)

\

$\"\"$ (LCM of $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply distributive property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Combine like terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Factors)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract $\"\"$ from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

\

Hence, there is no varible term,so can not define the factors.

\

Since, the results can not define the original equation.

\

There is no slolution.

\

It is an extraneous solution.

\

$\"\"$

\

There is no solution and it is an extraneous solution.
