\displaystyle\\\\\frac{2}{x-2}+\frac{7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{^{x+2)}2~~~~~}{x-2}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+4+7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+11}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\5(x^2-4)=x(2x+11)\\\\5x^2-20=2x^2+11x\\\\5x^2-2x^2 -11x-20=0


\displaystyle\\3x^2-11x-20=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+4\cdot3\cdot20}}{2\cdot3}=\\\\=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+240}}{6}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{361 }}{6}=\frac{11\pm19}{6}\\\\x_1=\frac{11-19}{6}=\frac{-8}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_1=-\frac{4}{3}}\\\\x_2=\frac{11+19}{6}=\frac{30}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_2=5}
