(10)/(x-5)= 8/(x-1)

\frac{10}{x - 5} = \frac{8}{x - 1}

x = - 15

Solution steps

\frac{10}{x - 5} = \frac{8}{x - 1}

Cross multiply

10 x - 10 = 8 x - 40

Move

10

to the right side

10 x = 8 x - 30

Move

8 x

to the left side

2 x = - 30

Divide both sides by

2

x = - 15

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 5, x = 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 15

2 - \frac{6}{x ^{2}} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{2}{x + 2} + 5 = \frac{17}{x + 2}

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

\frac{9}{5} = 2 - \frac{1}{x + 3}

\frac{4}{5} = \frac{12}{m}
