Question 381402: I need to solve this equation: 10/(x^2-2x)+4/x=5/(x-2)
so far I have 4x+2/(x^2-2x) = 5x/(x^2-2x)
Is this correct so far and where do I go from here?

10/(x^2-2x)+4/x=5/(x-2)

%2810%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29%29%2B%284%2Fx%29-+5%2F%28x-2%29=0

LCD = x(x-2)
multiply by x(x-2)
..

..
10+4*(x-2)-5(x-2)=0
10+4x-8-5x+10=0
-x+12=0
x=12
