(12)/x =(22)/(x-5)

\frac{12}{x} = \frac{22}{x - 5}

x = - 6

Solution steps

\frac{12}{x} = \frac{22}{x - 5}

Cross multiply

12 x - 60 = x \cdot 22

Move

60

to the right side

12 x = x \cdot 22 + 60

Move

x 22

to the left side

- 10 x = 60

Divide both sides by

- 10

x = - 6

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0, x = 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 6

a, x = \frac{a - b}{a + b}

\frac{3}{2 b - 1} = \frac{2}{b + 2}

\frac{4}{x ^{2}} + \frac{5}{x} = - 1

\frac{x}{x - 9} + 7 = \frac{9}{x - 9}

0.2 = \frac{2.8 x}{0.4 x ^{2} + 1.3}
