Question:
=
Take the reciprocal of the denomiator in the left hand side and multiply with the numerator.....
=
==> =
Here (x+2) is common in both the numerator and denominator...so they will get cancelled.....
==> =
==> =
Here 5 is common in the denominator of both sides of the expression, so they will get cancelled......
==> =
Now multiply the whole expression by 1* (x-3)...that is the whole terms in the denominators (both sides)
==> =
==> =
==> x = 7(x-3)
==> x = 7x -21
add 21 to both sides of the expression.....
==> x + 21 = 7x
subtract x from both sides of the expression.....
==> x + 21 - x = 7x - x
==> 21 = 6x
Divide both sides of the expression by 6....
==> = x
So solution is x =
Hope you found the explanation useful....
