3/((x+2))=5

\frac{3}{( x + 2 )} = 5

x = - \frac{7}{5}

Solution steps

\frac{3}{( x + 2 )} = 5

Simplify

\frac{3}{( x + 2 )} : \frac{3}{x + 2}

\frac{3}{x + 2} = 5

Multiply both sides by

x + 2

3 = 5 (x + 2)

Switch sides

5 (x + 2) = 3

Divide both sides by

5

x + 2 = \frac{3}{5}

Move

2

to the right side

x = - \frac{7}{5}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 2

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - \frac{7}{5}

y, x = \frac{4}{2 - 4 y}

\frac{x ^{2} - 16}{x + 4} = x - 4

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

\frac{m + 11}{m - 1} = \frac{12}{8}
