Answer:


x=-3\ and\ x=2

Explanation:

we have


(2)/(5)+(3)/(5x)=(x+5)/(10)

Simplify-----> Multiply by
10x both sides


10x*(2)/(5)+10x*(3)/(5x)=10x*(x+5)/(10)


4x+6=x^(2)+5x


x^(2)+5x-4x-6=0


x^(2)+x-6=0

Using a graphing tool-----> to resolve the quadratic equation

see the attached figure

The solutions are


x=-3\ and\ x=2
