b. (x – 1) / 4 + (2x + 3) / -1 = 0
c. 4 / (x + 2) + 1 / (x – 2) = 4 / (x2 – 4)
d. |6 x – 5| = 25
f. (x – a) / (x – b) = (b – x) / (a – x)

2. Solve the following equations by factoring if possible. If not, solve by completing the square.
a. x (2x -13) = - 6
b. x2 – x – 5 = 0
c. 12x2 + 32 x + 5 = 0
d. 6 + 6 x2 = 5x    

3. Solve the following equations for x.
a. (2x)/ (x2 – 1) – 1/ (x +3) = 0
b. 3 x2 – 6x – 3/ (x +1) (x – 2) (x -3) + (5 - 2x)/(x2 – 5x + 6) = 0
