x = \frac{11}{2}

Decimal

x = 5.5

Solution steps

\frac{36}{x} - 5 = \frac{17}{2 x}

Multiply by LCM

72 - 10 x = 17

Move

72

to the right side

- 10 x = - 55

Divide both sides by

- 10

x = \frac{11}{2}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{11}{2}

\frac{2}{x} - \frac{x + 1}{5} = \frac{- 4}{5}

\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{2}{x + 5} = \frac{4}{x}

\frac{6 x}{x + 7} - 1 = \frac{6}{x ^{2} + 7 x}

\frac{2 x - 1}{x + 2} = \frac{3 x - 5}{x + 1}
