x/2+(12)/x =5

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{12}{x} = 5

x = 6, x = 4

Solution steps

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{12}{x} = 5

Multiply by LCM

x^{2} + 24 = 10 x

Solve

x^{2} + 24 = 10 x : x = 6, x = 4

x = 6, x = 4

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 6, x = 4

\frac{x - 2}{x - 9} = \frac{5}{6}

\frac{3}{x - 4} + \frac{x - 3}{x} = 2

2 = \frac{x + 2}{x - 6}

x + \frac{12}{x} = 7

\frac{n - 6}{n - 7} = \frac{9}{2}
