Validating Solver Outputs in Risk Formulas

A financial auditor is reviewing a spreadsheet that uses the rational equation 15x2+x−6−3x−2=2x+3\frac{15}{x^2+x-6} - \frac{3}{x-2} = \frac{2}{x+3} to calculate risk tolerance. The spreadsheet's solver tool outputs a preliminary value of x=2x = 2. Based on the mathematical properties of this equation, what is the final valid solution, and what term describes the solver's output of x=2x = 2?
