Solution
1) . given 13/x -15/(x+4) = 14/x
take the -15/(x+4) to the right hand side, and bring 14/x to left hand side
13/x -14/x = 15/(x+4)
-1/x = 15/(x+4)
-(x+4) = 15x ( cross multiplying)
-x -4 =15x
16x =-4
so x=-1/4
2).
5x/(x+2) +6 = 1/(x+2)
take 6 to the right hand side , bring 1/(x+2) to the left hand side
5x/(x+2) -1/(x+2) =-6
(5x-1) /(x+2) =-6
(5x-1) =-6(x+2)
5x-1 =-6x-12
11x =-12+1
x=-1
3).
given x+64/x =-20
(x^2 +64) / x =-20
(x^2 +64) = -20x
x^2 +20x+64=0
x^2 +16x+4x+64=0
x(x+16) +4(x+16)=0
(x+4) (x+16) =0
so x=-4 or x=-16
x = -4, -16
4).
(4x) /(3x+2) + (6x+1) /(x+5) = (2x-9)/(3x^2 +17x+10)
[ (4x) (x+5) + ((6x+1) (3x+2) ] / (3x^2 +17x+10) =(2x-9)/(3x^2 +17x+10)
4x^2 +20x +18x^2+ 15x+12 = 2x-9
22x^2 +33x +21=0
x=-0.75
