0= 1/x-2/(x+5)

0 = \frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x + 5}

x = 5

Solution steps

0 = \frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x + 5}

Multiply by LCM

0 = - x + 5

Move

x

to the left side

x = 5

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0, x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 5

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

\frac{24}{x} + 1 = 3

\frac{8}{x - 7} = \frac{4}{x - 6}

1^{2} = \frac{2 ^{3}}{c - 2}

\frac{1}{2 x ^{2}} = 72
