Consider the equation:

\frac{5}{x^2-9} = \frac{2}{x-3}

True or False: The rational equation $\frac{x-1}{x^2-1} = \frac{1}{x+1}$ is satisfied by all real numbers except and .

Find the solution set for the following equation:

\frac{2}{x-1} = \frac{x}{x-1} - 1

True or False: If an algebraic step in solving a rational equation leads to $x=2$ , but the original equation had a term $\frac{5}{x^2-4}$ , then $x=2$ must be rejected as an extraneous solution.

Two printers work together to finish a job. Printer A takes $x$ minutes to print the job alone, while Printer B takes $x+5$ minutes. If they can complete the job together in 6 minutes, which rational equation represents this scenario?

$x = 3$ and $x = -3$
