Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x2
x
+−3=x+x+−5
Multiply all terms by x and cancel:
x2+−3x=xx+xx+−5x
x2−3x=2x2−5x(Simplify both sides of the equation)
x2−3x−(2x2−5x)=2x2−5x−(2x2−5x)(Subtract 2x^2-5x from both sides)
−x2+2x=0
x(−x+2)=0(Factor left side of equation)
x=0 or −x+2=0(Set factors equal to 0)
x=0 or x=2
Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)
x=0(Doesn't work in original equation)
x=2(Works in original equation)
