Question
Solve the given equation:
\dfrac{x-4}{x-5}+\dfrac{x-6}{x-7} = \dfrac{10}{3}
Solve the given equation:
\dfrac{x-4}{x-5}+\dfrac{x-6}{x-7} = \dfrac{10}{3}
Given
\dfrac{x-4}{x-5}+\dfrac{x-6}{x-7} = \dfrac{10}{3}
\dfrac{x-5+1}{x-5}+\dfrac{x-7+1}{x-7} = \dfrac{10}{3}
\dfrac{1}{x-5}+\dfrac{1}{x-7} =\dfrac{4}{3}
2x-12= \dfrac{4}{3}(x^2-12x+35)
3x-18 = 2(x^2-12x+35)
2x^2-27x+88 = 0
(x-8)(2x-11) = 0
x = 8 or x = \dfrac{11}{2}
