Two basic ways in which to do this problem:
1. Find and apply the LCD.
2. Convert all of the given numbers to their decimal form, to 2 or 3 places only.
Try #2 first:
5/6 = 0.83
4/5 = 0.80 is not between 5/6 and 1. Reject it.
4/7 = 0.57 Reject
6/7 = 0.86 This is between 5/6 and1. This is the answer.

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2/(x + 5) = 25/(x+5) Subtract the right side from both sides.
x^2/(x + 5) - 25/(x + 5) = 0
x^2 - 25
======= = 0
x + 5
(x + 5)(x - 5)
============= = 0
(x + 5)
Cancel x + 5 in the numerator and denominator.
x - 5 = 0
x = + 5
Does it check?
x^2/(x + 5) = 25/(x + 5)
x = 5
5^2/(10) = 25/10
25/10 = 25/10 Yes it checks.
