Chapter 7: Q. 7.71 (page 687)

Solve: $\frac{x + 13}{x^{2} - 7 x + 10} = \frac{6}{x - 5} - \frac{4}{x - 2} .$

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is no solution.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given.

The given equation is: $\frac{x + 13}{x^{2} - 7 x + 10} = \frac{6}{x - 5} - \frac{4}{x - 2} .$

Step 2. To find

We have to solve the given equation.

Step 3. Calculation

LCD of the denominators is $(x - 5) (x - 2)$ . Multiply both sides by the LCD and then solve the linear equation. After that check if the solution works.

$\frac{x + 13}{x^{2} - 7 x + 10} = \frac{6}{x - 5} - \frac{4}{x - 2} \frac{x + 13}{x^{2} - 7 x + 10} (x - 5) (x - 2) = \frac{6}{x - 5} (x - 5) (x - 2) - \frac{4}{x - 2} (x - 5) (x - 2) x + 13 = 6 (x - 2) - 4 (x - 5) x + 13 = 6 x - 12 - 4 x + 20 x + 13 = 2 x + 8 x - 2 x = 8 - 13 - x = - 5 x = \frac{- 5}{- 1} x = 5$

For $x = 5$ ,

$\frac{5 + 13}{5^{2} - 7 (5) + 10} = \frac{6}{5 - 5} - \frac{4}{5 - 2} \frac{18}{25 - 35 + 10} = \frac{6}{0} - \frac{4}{3} \frac{18}{0} = \frac{6}{0} - \frac{4}{3}$

We get 0 in the denominator. That is not possible. So there is no solution.
