2/(x+5)=(x+8)/9

\frac{2}{x + 5} = \frac{x + 8}{9}

x = - 2, x = - 11

Solution steps

\frac{2}{x + 5} = \frac{x + 8}{9}

Cross multiply

18 = (x + 5) (x + 8)

Solve

18 = (x + 5) (x + 8) : x = - 2, x = - 11

x = - 2, x = - 11

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 2, x = - 11

\frac{- 18 x}{( x ^{2} - 9 ) ^{2}} = 0

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

\frac{1}{x + 1} + 2 = \frac{9}{x + 1}

2 x^{- 1} = 4

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