5/(x+2)= 6/(x-2)

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

x = - 22

Solution steps

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

Cross multiply

5 x - 10 = 6 x + 12

Move

10

to the right side

5 x = 6 x + 22

Move

6 x

to the left side

- x = 22

Divide both sides by

- 1

x = - 22

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 2, x = 2

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 22

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

\frac{x - 2}{2 x + 8} = \frac{3}{2}

x, x^{- 2} = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{2 π}{b} = 4

1 = \frac{x ^{2}}{3 x + 4}
