$x\in R \,\, and \,\, x\neq \pm 1$

$if$: $g(\dfrac {x-3}{x+1})+g(\dfrac {3+x}{1-x})=x$

$find$: $g(x)$

$find$: $g(x)$
hint:
let $g(\dfrac{x-3}{x+1})=a,g(\dfrac{x+3}{1-x})=b,g(x)=c$
find :$a,b,c$
so how to create 3 "Linear equations",and from them to get the solutions of $a,b,c$

more hint :
$a+b=x---(1)$
$b+c=\dfrac {x-3}{x+1}---(2)$
$a+c=\dfrac {x+3}{1-x}---(3)$
$(1)(2)(3)$ why ?
find $c$ expressing in $x$
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
