x/2 = 3/(x-5)

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

x = 6, x = - 1

Solution steps

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

Cross multiply

x (x - 5) = 6

Solve

x (x - 5) = 6 : x = 6, x = - 1

x = 6, x = - 1

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 6, x = - 1

0.75 = \frac{( 10 + x )}{( 17 + x )}

\frac{1 - 2 m}{- 7} = \frac{1}{m + 2}

(x) = \frac{2 x ^{2} - 4 x + 6}{x - 4}

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

\frac{1}{( 1 + \frac{1}{X} )} = 1.33
