Answer:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic, 
, think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.

Let x = smallest number
y = middle number
z = largest number
Equations:
sum of 3 numbers: x + y + z = 15
two times smallest is 1 less than largest: 2x = z - 1
sum of largest and smallest is 10: z + x = 10
z + x = 10 can be solved for z ⇒ z = 10 - x
substitute into 2x = z - 1 ⇒ 2x = 10 - x - 1
3x = 9
x = 3 (divided both sides of equation by 3)
Since z + x = 10 ⇒ z + 3 = 10 ⇒ z = 7
Substitute values for x and z into x + y + z = 15 ⇒ 3 + y + 7 = 15
y + 10 = 15
y = 5
answer: 3, 5, 7
