2/(x-2)+5=(17)/(x-2)

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

x = 5

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x - 2

2 + 5 (x - 2) = 17

Move

2

to the right side

5 (x - 2) = 15

Divide both sides by

5

x - 2 = 3

Move

2

to the right side

x = 5

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 2

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 5

37.5 = \frac{150}{( 334.76811 - x )}

9 = \frac{78}{x}

\frac{32}{x} = \frac{x}{2}

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

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