Multiple Choice

A quality control specialist is auditing a calculation script that uses the rational equation 43x2−10x+3+33x2+2x−1=2x2−2x−3\frac{4}{3x^2-10x+3} + \frac{3}{3x^2+2x-1} = \frac{2}{x^2-2x-3}. The script identifies x=3x = 3 as the algebraic solution. According to the five-step strategy for rational equations, what is the specific mathematical consequence of substituting x=3x = 3 back into the original equation?
