Split the following expression into partial fractions of the form A/(x-3) + B/(4x+2) : (19x-15)/(4x+2)(x-3)

Set the expression equal to the form required in the solution. Multiply both sides by (4x-2)(x-3) to get rid of the denominator and acquire an expression of the form: 19x-15 = A(4x+2) + B(x-3). From here the...
