PLEASE HELP ASAP. BEEN STUCK ON THIS FOR 1 HOUR
Solve each equation. Check each solution.
\[x+\frac{ 10 }{ x-2 }=\frac{ x^2+3x }{ x-2 }\]

multiply each term with x -2
OpenStudy (joshoyen):
oh wait, wth i put the wrong problem. its \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2x+2 }+\frac{ 5 }{ x^2-1 } = \frac{ 1 }{ x-1 }\] sorry bout that
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
okay factor the denominator of second fraction
OpenStudy (joshoyen):
\[\frac{ 5 }{ (x+1)(x-1) }\]
OpenStudy (joshoyen):
not sure

Perfect now multiply each term wit (x+1)(x-1)
OpenStudy (joshoyen):
so \[(x+1)(x-1)\frac{ 1 }{ 2x+2 } ?\]
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
\[ (x+1)(x-1)\frac{1}{2(x+1)} +(x+1)(x-1)\frac{ 5 }{ (x+1)(x-1) }=
(x+1)(x-1)\frac{ 1 }{ x-1 } \]
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
now simplify them
OpenStudy (joshoyen):
Hmm.. not sure on how to do this part

Cancel out the like terms in numerator and denominator
OpenStudy (joshoyen):
Is it \[(x-1)\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }+\frac{ 5 }{ 1 }+(x+1)\frac{ 1 }{ 1 }\] ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = 7
\[\frac{5}{x^2-1}+\frac{1}{2 x+2}-\frac{1}{x-1}=0 \]\[\frac{7-x}{2 (x-1) (x+1)}=0 \]x = 7
OpenStudy (joshoyen):
ohhh okay, thanks guys!
