Answer 1

'x' only has one solution

Explanation:

First multiply both sides by 'x^2'

40x = -5x^2

(bring both values to one side and factorize to solve for 'x')

5x^2 +40x=0

5x(x+8)=0

5x= 0 ; x+8 = 0

x=0 ; x=-8

x cannot equal to '0' as zero cannot be a denominator.

Hence, x=-8 is the only correct solution.

So, 'x' only has one solution.
