Question
![### Equation
The equation presented is:
\[ \frac{1}{x-4} + \frac{x}{x-2} = \frac{2}{x^2 - 6x + 8} \]
This equation involves rational expressions, where each term is a fraction. The denominators involve algebraic expressions that must be handled carefully to solve for \( x \).
**Details:**
- The first term is \(\frac{1}{x-4}\).
- The second term is \(\frac{x}{x-2}\).
- The right side of the equation is \(\frac{2}{x^2 - 6x + 8}\).
The quadratic expression in the denominator on the right-hand side can be factored to help simplify the equation further. The common method would usually involve finding a common denominator or factoring to solve the equation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6419df05-0cdf-40cf-9a07-cb413b8a1cc6%2F2799d024-6c20-4d22-a57c-d55702afacba%2Fmkko3n_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
