Question

Solve
(i) 3x - 7/x-4 + 2x +5/x+2 = 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now we have to divide both sides of the equation by 4,

Then we get,

= 4x/4 = 25/4

= x = 25/4

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x - 7)/(x-4) + (2x +5)/(x+2) = 5

{(3x - 7)(x+2) + (2x +5)(x-4)} / (x-4)(x+2)  = 5

(3x^2 - x -14 + 2x^2 - 3x -20) / (x^2 -2x-8) = 5

(5x^2 -4x - 34) / (x^2 -2x-8) = 5

(5x^2 - 4x- 34) = 5(x^2 -2x-8)

(5x^2 - 4x - 34) = (5x^2 - 10x- 40)

6x = -6

x = -1
