Equations Reducible to Quadratic Form

There are certain equations which are reducible to quadratic form.

Illustration:

Solve:;frac{1}{x-3}+frac{1}{x+5}= frac{1}{6}, ;Where (xneq 3, -5)

Solution:

frac{1}{x-3}-frac{1}{x+5}= frac{1}{6}

frac{x+5-x+3}{(x-3)(x+5)}= frac{1}{6}

frac{8}{(x-3)(x+5)}= frac{1}{6}

frac{8}{(x^2-3x+5x-15)}= frac{1}{6}
