im just not sure about the process? im not even really sure how to start.
Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve for x:
I would first add the two fractions on the left side using the LCD of
Simplify the left side.
Now factor the denominator on the right side.
Multiply both sides by .
Subtract from both sides.
Add 25 to both sides.
Finally, divide both sides by -10.

However, when you try to check this solution by substituting in the original equation, you will have division by zero in two of the terms, which means that this solution is invalid.
This equation, therefore, has no solution!
