Of course you could solve for x.  The LCD of these three fracgtions is (x-2)(x+2)(x).

However, you could identify the correct answer by subbing the given x values into the original equation of fractions.  For example, if you want to test out x = -4/3 and x = -5, focus on one or the other first.  If x = -4/3

then the first fraction becomes

     2
-------------     Calculate the other 2 fractions for x = -4/3.  Is the resulting 
-4/3 - 6/3      equation then true?

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

A paint store sells exterior paint for $35.75 a gallon and paint rollers for $6.00 each. Write an equation in standard form for
VLD [36.1K]
The total price for the gallons of paint will be 35.75p

The total price for the rollers will be 6r

So the equation if the customer have 190 will be
price for gallons of paint + price for rollers = 190
35.75p + 6r = 190
