(4x^2-25)/(2x-5)=14
we hates fractions so m ultiply both sides by (2x-5)
4x^2-25=14(2x-5)
4x^2-25=28x-70
add 70 to both sides
4x^2+45=28x
subtract 28x fromoth sides
4x^2-28x+45=0
use quadratic formula which is
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=
\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^(2)-4ac} }{2a}
a=4
b=-28
c=45
subsitute
x=
\frac{-(-28)+/- \sqrt{(-28)^(2)-4(4)(45)} }{2(4)}
x=
(28+/- √(784-720) )/(8)
x=
(28+/- 8)/(8)
x=
(5)/(2) or
(9)/(2)
if we were to put 5/2 for x, the deonomentor would be equal to zero, so it cannot be used


answer is
x=9/2
