1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the equation for xx:
4a23x+3+3a+3x21=2a23x23+3x1\frac{4a^2}{3x+3} + \frac{3a+3}{x^2-1} = \frac{2a^2}{3x^2-3} + \frac{3}{x-1}
Then, we need to determine the real number aa such that x>2x > 2.

2. Solution Steps

First, we factor the denominators:
3x+3=3(x+1)3x+3 = 3(x+1)
x21=(x1)(x+1)x^2-1 = (x-1)(x+1)
3x23=3(x21)=3(x1)(x+1)3x^2-3 = 3(x^2-1) = 3(x-1)(x+1)
Substitute these into the equation:
4a23(x+1)+3a+3(x1)(x+1)=2a23(x1)(x+1)+3x1\frac{4a^2}{3(x+1)} + \frac{3a+3}{(x-1)(x+1)} = \frac{2a^2}{3(x-1)(x+1)} + \frac{3}{x-1}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3(x1)(x+1)3(x-1)(x+1) to eliminate the denominators:
3(x1)(x+1)[4a23(x+1)+3a+3(x1)(x+1)]=3(x1)(x+1)[2a23(x1)(x+1)+3x1]3(x-1)(x+1) \left[ \frac{4a^2}{3(x+1)} + \frac{3a+3}{(x-1)(x+1)} \right] = 3(x-1)(x+1) \left[ \frac{2a^2}{3(x-1)(x+1)} + \frac{3}{x-1} \right]
4a2(x1)+3(3a+3)=2a2+3(3(x+1))4a^2(x-1) + 3(3a+3) = 2a^2 + 3(3(x+1))
4a2x4a2+9a+9=2a2+9x+94a^2x - 4a^2 + 9a + 9 = 2a^2 + 9x + 9
4a2x4a2+9a=2a2+9x4a^2x - 4a^2 + 9a = 2a^2 + 9x
4a2x9x=6a29a4a^2x - 9x = 6a^2 - 9a
x(4a29)=6a29ax(4a^2 - 9) = 6a^2 - 9a
x(4a29)=3a(2a3)x(4a^2 - 9) = 3a(2a - 3)
If 4a2904a^2 - 9 \neq 0, then
x=3a(2a3)4a29=3a(2a3)(2a3)(2a+3)=3a2a+3x = \frac{3a(2a-3)}{4a^2-9} = \frac{3a(2a-3)}{(2a-3)(2a+3)} = \frac{3a}{2a+3}
Now, we want to find aa such that x>2x > 2.
3a2a+3>2\frac{3a}{2a+3} > 2
3a2a+32>0\frac{3a}{2a+3} - 2 > 0
3a2(2a+3)2a+3>0\frac{3a - 2(2a+3)}{2a+3} > 0
3a4a62a+3>0\frac{3a - 4a - 6}{2a+3} > 0
a62a+3>0\frac{-a-6}{2a+3} > 0
a+62a+3<0\frac{a+6}{2a+3} < 0
Consider two cases:
Case 1: a+6<0a+6 < 0 and 2a+3>02a+3 > 0
a<6a < -6 and a>32a > -\frac{3}{2}
This case is impossible.
Case 2: a+6>0a+6 > 0 and 2a+3<02a+3 < 0
a>6a > -6 and a<32a < -\frac{3}{2}
So, 6<a<32-6 < a < -\frac{3}{2}
Also, we need to check the condition 4a2904a^2 - 9 \neq 0, which means a±32a \neq \pm \frac{3}{2}. Since a<32a < -\frac{3}{2} in our solution, we have a32a \neq -\frac{3}{2}.
Therefore, the solution is 6<a<32-6 < a < -\frac{3}{2}.

3. Final Answer

6<a<32-6 < a < -\frac{3}{2}
