Simplify the equation: 1/(x - 8) + 1/(x - 9) = 1/(x - 5) + 1/(x - 12)

1.	Simplify the equation: 1/(x - 8) + 1/(x - 9) = 1/(x - 5) + 1/(x - 12)
Answer» Sum of the denominator of both sides are equal = 2x – 17 According to formula 2x – 17 = 0 ⇒ x = 17/2 = 8(1/2)

Answer»

Sum of the denominator of both sides are equal

= 2x – 17

According to formula 2x – 17 = 0

⇒ x = 17/2 = 8(1/2)
