Answer 2

\[\dfrac{2}{x+2}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{x+5}\] ?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

multiply all three terms by \((x+5)(x+2)\) and tell me what you have.

Answer 5

ok hold on:)

Answer 6

x=-13?

Answer 7

\(\dfrac{2}{x+2}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{x+5}\\(x+2)(x+5)\dfrac{2}{x+2}+(x+2)(x+5)\dfrac{1}{5}=(x+2)(x+5)\dfrac{6}{x+5}\\

\cancel{(x+2)}(x+5)\dfrac{2}{\cancel{(x+2)}}+(x+2)(x+5)\dfrac{1}{5}=(x+2)\cancel{(x+5)}\dfrac{6}{\cancel{(x+5)}}\\

(x+5)2+(x+5)(x+2)\frac{1}{5}=(x+2)6\)

Answer 8

\(

2(x+5)+(x+5)(x+2)\frac{1}{5}=6(x+2)\)

Answer 9

ohh so it would be x=0, x=13

Answer 10

Yes, no, maybe so? Lol

Answer 11

maybe ask zzr0ck3r

Answer 12

Ok:) She/he is offline :(

Answer 13

@Mertsj What are your thoughts?

Answer 14

\[5(x+2)(x+5)(\frac{2}{x+2})+5(x+2)(x+5)(\frac{1}{5})=5(x+2)(x+5)(\frac{6}{x+5})\]

Answer 15

10x+50+x^2+7x+10=30x+60

Answer 16

x^2-13x=0
x=0,13
