x/(x+12)= 1/(x+5)

\frac{x}{x + 12} = \frac{1}{x + 5}

x = 2, x = - 6

Solution steps

\frac{x}{x + 12} = \frac{1}{x + 5}

Cross multiply

x (x + 5) = x + 12

Solve

x (x + 5) = x + 12 : x = 2, x = - 6

x = 2, x = - 6

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 12, x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 2, x = - 6

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

6 + \frac{x}{x - 4} = \frac{4}{x - 4}

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

2 = \frac{9}{b - 5}

x + x^{- 1} = 0
