Problem - 3968
Solve the equation $$\frac{2x}{2x^2-5x+3}+\frac{13x}{2x^2+x+3}=6$$
Answer
$2, \frac{3}{4}$
Because it is clear that $x\ne 0$, let's divide the numerators and denominators by $x$: $$\frac{2}{2x - 5 +\frac{3}{x}} + \frac{13}{2x + 1 +\frac{3}{x}}=6$$
Let $y=2x +\frac{3}{x} -2$, then the above relation becomes $$\frac{2}{y-3}+\frac{13}{y+3}=6\implies \frac{15y-33}{y^2-9}=6\implies y= -1, \frac{7}{2}$$
Setting this back to $y=2x+\frac{3}{x}-2$ finds only two real solutions $x =\boxed{2}, \boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$.
