If we replace the 3 in the ratio with a 25 (which is a reasonable age for a parent), it means that the child would have to be about 17 years old. (The ratio would be 20:16.666667 to stay equal to 3:2) Therefore, it is not possible.

mario62 [17]

We are looking to find the point where the curve discontinued

Step 1: Factorise both numerator and denominator (if possible)
$\frac{x+5}{ x^{2} +3x-10}= \frac{(x+5)}{(x+5)(x-2)}$

Step 2: Recognise the common factor, which is $(x+5)$

Step 3: Equate the common factor to 0
$x+5=0$
$x=-5$
