(10)/(2x+4)= 4/(x+5)

\frac{10}{2 x + 4} = \frac{4}{x + 5}

x = - 17

Solution steps

\frac{10}{2 x + 4} = \frac{4}{x + 5}

Cross multiply

5 x + 25 = 4 x + 8

Move

25

to the right side

5 x = 4 x - 17

Move

4 x

to the left side

x = - 17

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 2, x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 17

x - \frac{5}{x} = x^{2}

x, \frac{3}{2 x} - 3 y = 5

x + \frac{1}{x} = 6

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{22}{x}

4 x^{- 2} - 11 x^{- 1} - 3 = 0
