OpenStudy (legggoheatnation):
i got x=0 and x=13
OpenStudy (anthonyym):
Can you type it in an equation, draw, or take a picture of the problem so I can understand it better?
OpenStudy (legggoheatnation):
\[\frac{ 2 }{ x+2} + \frac{ 3 }{ 5x } = \frac{ x+5 }{ 10 }\]

You can easily check for yourself by plugging in your answer into the equation to see if the equation is true.

for x=0 this is one restriction for x bc. in this case this fraction 3/5x will result undefined
right ?
OpenStudy (legggoheatnation):

OpenStudy (legggoheatnation):
so zero isnt an answer then right?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
