Solve for x: x²/x-3=x+2/2x-5

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)

x=2
