Question 231450: I have been trying for 3 hours to solve this equation.I really need help!
1/x^2-25- 4/x-5= 2/x+5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
[1/x^2-25]- [4/x-5]= [2/x+5]
--------------
Multiply thru by x^2-25 to get:
1 - 4(x+5) = 2(x-5)
---
1-4x -20 = 2x - 10
-4x - 19 = 2x - 10
6x = -29
x = -29/6
