No problem :)

I don't know how "standard" my method is, but this is the way I'd do it. To go ahead and make the equation simpler, multiply both sides by x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or, x^2 to eliminate ALL denominators.

Quite.

i did the multiplying by x^2 on both side and the answer came out to be x=3 now how do i write in a+bi form? is that right?
OpenStudy (triciaal):
2 + 5/x^2 = 6/x
multiply by x^2 and rewrite to get 2x^2-6x +5 =0
a=2 b=-6 c=5
use quadratic formula
then rt-4 express as rt-1.rt4
