12/A+24/A=A
Let's solve in ℝ: 12A + 24A = A
ⓘ Like terms are grouped by adding their coefficients: 12A + 24A = 36A
36A = A
We multiply both sides by A, nonzero for the fractions to be defined
36A·A = A·A
ⓘ Multiplying a fraction by a term multiplies its numerator: 36A·A = 36AA■The original denominator must remain nonzero. The fraction is simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their common factor A: 36AA = 36■Multiplying powers with the same base adds the exponents: A·A = A2
36 = A2
A2 = 36
The two numbers whose square is 36 are -6 and 6
Candidates, pending the domain check: A = { -6, 6 }
For the expression 12A to be defined, we must have: A ≠ 0
Domain constraints: A ≠ 0
▶Solution:   A = { -6, 6 }
