Question

2x-4/x-5=0
How would I find x?

Answer 1

I assume you mean 2x - (4/x) - 5 = 0.
In that situation you would multiple both sides by x and then solve the polynomial equation.

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 2x-4 }{x-5 }=0 \ \ \ or \ \ 2x- \frac{4}{x}-5=0 \ \ \ or\ \ \ \frac{2x-4}{x}-5=0 \]

Answer 3

Which one is your question?

Answer 4

Just rationalise it.
