\\ \tt\longmapsto (9)/(x+2)=(x+3)/(x-5)


\\ \tt\longmapsto 9(x-5)=(x+2)(x+3)


\\ \tt\longmapsto 9x-45=x^2+5x+6


\\ \tt\longmapsto x^2-4x+51=0

  • a=1
  • b=-4
  • c=51

Let's find x


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=(-b\pm √(b^2-4ac))/(2a)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=(4\pm√(16-204))/(2)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=(4\pm √(-188))/(2)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=(4\pm √(188)i)/(2)

  • i=√-1


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=(4\pm 2√(47)i)/(2)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=2\pm √(47)i
