See attached file for solution - just too much strain on my eyes and brain to have all those ^2 and / in the same equation so the file has correct math formatting.

x = -7

What is OA?

Please include list of answers and OA when you post a question.

Thanks,

I got x=2 or x=-2

work:
combine like terms:
3x+5/x^2=-3/x^2+3x+2
8/x^2=2
x^2=4
x=2 ; x=-2
