Final answer:

To solve the given rational equation, cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions, rearrange the equation, and solve for x using factoring or the quadratic formula.


Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the rational equation 1/x+10 = x-2/x+3, we can start by cross-multiplying the fractions to eliminate the denominators:

(x+3)(1) = (x-2)(x+10)

x + 3 = x2 + 8x - 20

Next, we can rearrange the equation and solve for x:

0 = x2 + 7x - 23

Using either factoring or the quadratic formula, we find that the solutions are x = -3 and x = 4. Therefore, from least to greatest, the solutions are -3 and 4.
