Factoring? 1. $\frac{4\,-\,\frac{4}{x\,+\,3}}{1\,-\,\frac{2}{1\,-\,\frac{2}{x}}}\,=\,\frac{\frac{4x\,+\,8}{x\,+\,3} }{\frac{-x\,-\,2}{x\,-\,2}}\,=\,\frac{4x\,+\,8}{x\,+\,3}\,\cdot\,\frac{x \,-\,2}{-x\,-\,2}\,=\,\frac{8\,-\,4x}{x\,+\,3}$ 2. $\frac{12\,+\,x}{-4}\,-\,5\,=\,\frac{5x\,-\,7}{3}\,+\,2x\,+\,3$ $\frac{x\,+\,32}{-4}\,=\,\frac{11x\,+\,2}{3}$ $3x\,+\,96\,=\,-44x\,-\,8$ $47x\,=\,-104,\,x\,=\,-\frac{104}{47}$
