Answer:

x = 5, x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 3x - 4 = 6

Subtract: x² - 3x - 10 = 0

Find two numbers to factor: adds up to -3x, product is -10x²: -5x and 2x

Substitute: x² - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0

Factor: (x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

Solutions: x = 5, x = -2

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{43}}{2}}$

Explanation:

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{x-5}+\dfrac{3}{x+2}=4$

make the denominators same

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{1(x+2)}{(x-5)(x+2)}+\dfrac{3(x-5)}{(x+2)(x-5)}=4$

join the fractions together

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{x+2+3x-15}{(x-5)(x+2)}=4$

cross multiply

$\rightarrow \sf x+2+3x-15=4(x-5)(x+2)$

simplify

$\rightarrow \sf 4x-13=4x^2-12x-40$

group the variables

$\rightarrow \sf 4x^2-16x-27 = 0$

use quadratic formula

$\rightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{-\left(-16\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-16\right)^2-4\cdot \:4\left(-27\right)}}{2\cdot \:4}$

simplify the following

$\rightarrow \sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{43}}{2}$
