2/(w-5)-5/(w-5)=3

\frac{2}{w - 5} - \frac{5}{w - 5} = 3

w = 4

Solution steps

\frac{2}{w - 5} - \frac{5}{w - 5} = 3

Multiply both sides by

w - 5

- 3 = 3 (w - 5)

Switch sides

3 (w - 5) = - 3

Divide both sides by

3

w - 5 = - 1

Move

5

to the right side

w = 4

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

w = 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

w = 4

\frac{x + 9}{x ^{2} - 81} = 1

- \frac{10}{x ^{3}} = 0

\frac{2 x + 3}{9 x} = x

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

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