Question

Help solve this equation for x
(x/(x-2)+(2x/(4-x^2)=(5/(x+2)

Answer 1

Clear denominators by mult. through by the LCD=(x+2)(x-2) to get\[x(x+2)-2x=5(x-2)\]You can then distribute and collect like terms to solve. (cont.)

Answer 2

Then use quadratic formula to solve \[x^2-5x-10=0\](cont.)

Answer 3
