(x+2)/(x-2)= 3/5

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

x = - 8

Solution steps

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

Cross multiply

5 x + 10 = 3 x - 6

Move

10

to the right side

5 x = 3 x - 16

Move

3 x

to the left side

2 x = - 16

Divide both sides by

2

x = - 8

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 2

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 8

\frac{40}{x + 1} = 0

x + 7 - \frac{5}{x - 3} = 5

0.14 = \frac{6.4}{R} - 0.2

x, y = \frac{x}{x - 1}

x, y = \frac{x}{x + z}
