Learn how to solve equations problems step by step online. Solve the rational equation 1/(x-3)=8/(x^2-9). Inverting the equation. We need to isolate the dependent variable x, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting -3 from both sides of the equation. Canceling terms on both sides. Combine all terms into a single fraction with 8 as common denominator.
