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

\frac{12}{x + 2} = \frac{9}{x + 5}

x = - 14

Solution steps

\frac{12}{x + 2} = \frac{9}{x + 5}

Cross multiply

12 x + 60 = 9 x + 18

Move

60

to the right side

12 x = 9 x - 42

Move

9 x

to the left side

3 x = - 42

Divide both sides by

3

x = - 14

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 2, x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 14

15 - \frac{12}{x} = - 33

\frac{x}{x - 6} + 1 = \frac{6}{x - 6}

x, \frac{y - 2 z}{x - z} = 0

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