Dividing negative exponents is almost the same as multiplying them, except you're doing the opposite: subtracting where you would have added and dividing where you would have multiplied. If the bases are the same, subtract the exponents. Remember to flip the exponent and make it positive, if needed.

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation</u>:

\dfrac{2x}{x+1}+\dfrac{3(x+1)}{x}=5

Make the <u>denominators</u> the same:

\implies \dfrac{2x}{x+1} \cdot\dfrac{x}{x}+\dfrac{3(x+1)}{x} \cdot \dfrac{x+1}{x+1}=5

\implies \dfrac{2x^2}{x(x+1)}+\dfrac{3(x+1)^2}{x(x+1)} =5

<u>Combine</u> the fractions:

\implies \dfrac{2x^2+3(x+1)^2}{x(x+1)} =5

<u>Multiply</u> both sides by x(x+1):

\implies 2x^2+3(x+1)^2 =5x(x+1)

<u>Expand</u> the brackets:

\implies 2x^2+3(x^2+2x+1) =5x^2+5x

\implies 2x^2+3x^2+6x+3 =5x^2+5x

<u>Combine</u> like terms:

\implies 5x^2+6x+3=5x^2+5x

<u>Subtract</u> 5x² from both sides:

\implies 6x+3=5x

<u>Subtract</u> 5x from both sides:

\implies x+3=0

<u>Subtract</u> 3 from both sides:

\implies x=-3
