THe LCD is x(x^2 - 4)
so multiplying through by this we get:-
2x(x + 2) + 7x = 5(x^2 - 4)
2x^2 + 4x + 7x = 5x^2 - 20
3x^2 - 11x - 20 = 0
(3x + 4)(x - 5 ) = 0
so x = 5 , -4/3
Its the second choice
What can a denominator never be?
0
so, we need to figure what x can't be... the only way to multiply 2 things together to get 0 is if one or both are zero.
so, what x values make our denominator 0?
to figure this out, we need to set (x-1)(x-2)=0
now we split and solve.

so when x is 1 or 2 the function doesnt make sense.
but, x can be every other number and it does, so the answer is
ALL REAL NUMBERS not equal to 1 or 2
-2.8, -2.6, -2.3
Hope this helped :)
