Use the common denominator, %28x-5%29%5E2
7%2F%28x-5%29+%2B+28%2F%28x-5%29%5E2=%287%28x-5%29%29%2F%28x-5%29%5E2+%2B+28%2F%28x-5%29%5E2
7%2F%28x-5%29+%2B+28%2F%28x-5%29%5E2=%287%28x-5%29+%2B+28%29%2F%28x-5%29%5E2
7%2F%28x-5%29+%2B+28%2F%28x-5%29%5E2=%287x-35%2B+28%29%2F%28x-5%29%5E2
7%2F%28x-5%29+%2B+28%2F%28x-5%29%5E2=%287x-7%29%2F%28x-5%29%5E2
