Answer:

\large\boxed{\bold{NO\ REAL\ SOLUTIONS}}\\\boxed{x=4-2i,\ x=4+2i}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\\c-4\neq0\ \wedge\ c-5\neq0\Rightarrow c\neq4\ \wedge\ c\neq5\\\\\dfrac{c}{c-5}=\dfrac{4}{c-4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\c(c-4)=4(c-5)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\c^2-4c=4c-20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4c\ \text{from both sides}\\\\c^2-8c=-20\qquad\text{add 20 to both sides}\\\\c^2-8c+20=0\qquad\text{use the quadratic formula}

\text{for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{if}\ b^2-4ac0,\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x^2-8x+20=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-8,\ c=20\\\\b^2-4ac=(-8)^2-4(1)(20)=64-80=-16

\text{In the set of complex numbers:}\\\\i=\sqrt{-1}\\\\\text{therefore}\ \sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{-16}=\sqrt{(16)(-1)}=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt{-1}=4i\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-8)\pm4i}{2(1)}=\dfrac{8\pm4i}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\pm\dfrac{4i}{2}=4\pm2i

\frac{c}{c - 5}  =  \frac{4}{c - 4}

(c - 5)(c - 4) \times \frac{c}{c - 5} =  \frac{4}{c - 4}   \times (c - 5)(c - 4)

(c - 4) \times c = 4(c - 5)

With c≠4, 5

{c}^{2}  - 4c = 4c - 20

{c}^{2}  - 8c + 20 = 0

c =  \frac{2 - + \sqrt{2 - 20} }{2}

But 2-20 is negative, therefore there isn't any real solution to this equation.

Write 24 as a product of its prime factors.
Alex777 [14]
<span>prime factors are prime numbers that can be multiplied to give the number.
to find the prime factors the number is divided by the prime numbers by which the number is divisible.
                                                                               
24 / 3 = 8                                                                            
8 / 2 = 4                                                                                
4 / 2 = 2                                                                             
2 / 2 = 1                                                                                 
24 is divisible by 3 , 2 , 2 and 2.
therefore 24 written as a product of its prime factors is 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3</span>
