(19x - 2)/((5 - x)(1 + 6x)) can be expressed as A/(5-x) + B/(1+6x) where A and B are integers. Find A and B

First we can equate (19x - 2)/((5 - x)(1 + 6x)) to A/(5-x) + B/(1+6x) which means:
(19x - 2)/((5 - x)(1 + 6x)) = A/(5-x) + B/(1+6x). Then we will turn the RHS into a single fraction:

(19x - 2...
