Answer:
I'm not sure what all that extra stuff is supposed to mean, but the answer to the top question is: x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/5)+(3/(5x))=(x+5)/10
nasty fractions, we hates it forever
so
get rid of all those nasty fractions
multiply both sides by 10x
4x+6=x(x+5)
distribute
4x+6=x^2+5x
minus (4x+6) from both sides
0=x^2+x-6
factor
0=(x-2)(x+3)
set each to zero
0=x-2
2=x
0=x+3
-3=x
x=-3 and 2
