x/(x+5)= 6/5

\frac{x}{x + 5} = \frac{6}{5}

x = - 30

Solution steps

\frac{x}{x + 5} = \frac{6}{5}

Cross multiply

x \cdot 5 = 6 x + 30

Move

6 x

to the left side

- x = 30

Divide both sides by

- 1

x = - 30

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 30

\frac{2}{x - 2} + \frac{4}{x + 1} = 3

(\frac{1 - 2}{n}) n \cdot 3 = 60

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{7 x}{12 x - 15}

\frac{1.5}{x} = 0.1

\frac{7}{4 x - 5} = \frac{2}{x + 1}
