Answer: 5(x^3 - 4x - 16)/ 2(x + 4)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation: Based on the given conditions, formulate 5x/2 + 20/x+4 + 10/x-4

find the common denominator and write the numerators above common denominator.


5x(x + 4)(x - 4) +20 x 2 (x - 4) + 10 x 2 (x - 4)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 (x + 4)(x - 4)

Apply the multiplicative Distribution law:
5x^3 + 20x^2 - 20x^2 - 80x + 40x - 160 + 20x + 80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 (x + 4) (x - 4)

Combine like terms 5x^3 - 20x - 80
-----------------------
2(x = 4)( x - 4)

Factor the expression 5 (x + 4 - 4x - 16)
------------------------
2 (x + 4) (x - 4)
