\dfrac{5}{x^2 - 4} + \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{2}{x - 2}


\dfrac{5}{(x + 2)(x - 2)} + \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{2}{x - 2}


\dfrac{5}{(x + 2)(x - 2)} \times x(x + 2)(x - 2) + \dfrac{2}{x} \times x(x + 2)(x - 2) = \dfrac{2}{x - 2} \times x(x + 2)(x - 2)


5x + 2(x + 2)(x - 2) = 2x(x + 2)


5x + 2(x^2 - 4) = 2x^2 + 4x


5x + 2x^2 - 8 = 2x^2 + 4x


5x - 8 = 4x


x - 8 = 0


x = 8


Now we look at the common denominator.

It is x(x + 2)(x - 2).

x cannot be zero, -2 or 2 because that would cause a zero in the denominator.

Since we get x = 8, and x = 8 does not have to be excluded from the domain, the answer is x = 8.


Answer: x = 8

kati45 [8]
2x - 3y = 6
To find the x-intercept, plug zero in for y and solve.
2x - 3(0) = 6
2x = 6
divide both sides by 2
x = 3
The ordered pair is (3,0)
