I have to go, sorry. Hopefully you get more help, been procrastinating on my own work long enough...

Answer 10

thanks!

Answer 11

\[\frac{5}{x-5}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2}{x-5} ?\]

Answer 12

look at the bottom of the fractions
you (x-5) and (4) that are bottom factors
multiply both sides by 4(x-5) to eliminate the fractions

Answer 13

that is
\[4(x-5)\cdot [\frac{5}{x-5}+\frac{3}{4}]=\frac{2}{x-5} \cdot 4(x-5) \\ \text{ distribute on the left } \\ 4(x-5) \frac{5}{x-5}+4(x-5)\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2}{x-5}4(x-5)\]
do some canceling and tell me your resulting equation

Answer 14

20+3(x-5)=8?
