Question
Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization: \[\frac{x + 1}{x - 1} + \frac{x - 2}{x + 2} = 4 - \frac{2x + 3}{x - 2}; x \neq 1, - 2, 2\]

Solution
\[\frac{x + 1}{x - 1} + \frac{x - 2}{x + 2} = 4 - \frac{2x + 3}{x - 2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{(x + 1)(x + 2) + (x - 1)(x - 2)}{(x - 1)(x + 2)} = \frac{4(x - 2) - (2x + 3)}{x - 2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{( x^2 + 2x + x + 2) + ( x^2 - 2x - x + 2)}{x^2 + 2x - x - 2} = \frac{4x - 8 - 2x - 3}{x - 2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{x^2 + 3x + 2 + x^2 - 3x + 2}{x^2 + x - 2} = \frac{2x - 11}{x - 2}\]
\[\Rightarrow \frac{2 x^2 + 4}{x^2 + x - 2} = \frac{2x - 11}{x - 2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow (2 x^2 + 4)(x - 2) = (2x - 11)( x^2 + x - 2)\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 x^3 - 4 x^2 + 4x - 8 = 2 x^3 + 2 x^2 - 4x - 11 x^2 - 11x + 22\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 x^3 - 4 x^2 + 4x - 8 = 2 x^3 - 9 x^2 - 15x + 22\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 x^3 - 2 x^3 - 4 x^2 + 9 x^2 + 4x + 15x - 8 - 22 = 0\]
\[\Rightarrow 5 x^2 + 19x - 30 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 5 x^2 + 25x - 6x - 30 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 5x(x + 5) - 6(x + 5) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow (5x - 6)(x + 5) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 5x - 6 = 0, x + 5 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{6}{5}, x = - 5\]
