To solve this equation, we first need to find the LCD of the fractions on the left side of the equation. The denominators are x^2 + 5x - 6 and x^2 + 5x + 6, which can be factored as x+6x + 6x+6x−1x - 1x−1 and x+3x + 3x+3x+2x + 2x+2, respectively.
The LCD will be x+6x + 6x+6x−1x - 1x−1x+3x + 3x+3x+2x + 2x+2. We then rewrite the equation with the common denominator:

The LCD will be x+6x + 6x+6x−1x - 1x−1x+3x + 3x+3x+2x + 2x+2. We then rewrite the equation with the common denominator:
16(x+3)(x+2)−20(x+6)(x−1)−(x+6)(x−1)(x+3)(x+2)16(x + 3)(x + 2) - 20(x + 6)(x - 1) - (x + 6)(x - 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)16(x+3)(x+2)−20(x+6)(x−1)−(x+6)(x−1)(x+3)(x+2) / (x+6)(x−1)(x+3)(x+2)(x + 6)(x - 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x+6)(x−1)(x+3)(x+2) - 1 = 0
Expanding the numerators and simplifying, we get:
16x2+80x+96−20x2−20x−120+x4+9x3+2x3+18x2−x2−3x3−27x2−2x−6x+116x^2 + 80x + 96 - 20x^2 - 20x - 120 + x^4 + 9x^3 + 2x^3 + 18x^2 - x^2 - 3x^3 - 27x^2 - 2x - 6x + 116x2+80x+96−20x2−20x−120+x4+9x3+2x3+18x2−x2−3x3−27x2−2x−6x+1(x+6)(x−1)(x+3)(x+2)(x + 6)(x - 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x+6)(x−1)(x+3)(x+2) = 0
Combining like terms and solving for x may be a tedious process, but this is the general method to solve the equation.
