0=1/(5X+5)-3/(X+1)+7/5
0=[5(X+1)-3*5(5X+5)+7(5X+5)(X+1)]/[5(5X+5)(X+1)] CROSS MULTIPLYING ELIMINATES THE DENOMINATOR. THUS WE HAVE:
(5X+5)-15(5X+5)+7(5X^2+10X+5)=0
5X+5-75X-75+35X^2+70X+35=0
35X^2+35=0
35(X^2+1)=0
X^2+1=0
USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION:
X=(0+-SQRT0^2-4*1*1)/2
X=(+-SQRT-4)/2
X=(+-2i)/2
X=0+-1i ANSWER.
