x=(24)/(x-5)

x = \frac{24}{x - 5}

x = 8, x = - 3

Solution steps

x = \frac{24}{x - 5}

Multiply both sides by

x - 5

x (x - 5) = 24

Solve

x (x - 5) = 24 : x = 8, x = - 3

x = 8, x = - 3

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 8, x = - 3

4 = \frac{52}{g}

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{x}

\frac{1}{x - 3} + 1 = \frac{1}{x - 3}

x - \frac{10}{x} = - 3

- \frac{x}{x + 8} + 7 = \frac{8}{x + 8}
