Question

Solve for x 2/x+2+1/5=6/x+5

Answer 1

x =x =-25/14

Explanation:

Solve for 2/2x + 2+1/5 = 6/x + 5

to solve for this question we first of all collect the like terms

from

2/2x + 2+1/5 = 6/x + 5

we have,

2 + 1/5 - 5 = 6/x - 2/2x

find the lcm

(10 + 1-25)/5 = (12 -2)/2x

we have,

-14/5 = 10/2x

Using a cross multiplication method

-14× 2x = 5 × 10

-28x = 50

divide both sides by-28

-28x/-28 = 50/-28

x = 50/-28

x =-25/14

Answer 2

x = -10/7

Explanation:

Step 1: Solve for x

2/x + 2 + 1/5 = 6/x + 5

2/x + 11/5 = 6/x + 5 - 2/x

11/5 - 5 = 4/x + 5 - 5

-14/5 * x = 4/x * x

-14/5x * -5/14 = 4 * -5/14

x = -10/7

Answer: x = -10/7
