x−7
13. Solve for x : =0
2 x−1
Steps Solution

denominator is equal to zero.
2 4 10
14. Solve for x: + =
x−2 x−5 (x−2)(x−5)
Steps Solution
Eliminate the denominators by multiplying LCD on
each term of the equation on both sides.
Simplify. (Use distributive property)
Group the terms with variable on one side, and terms
without the variable on the other side.
Combined like terms.
Solve for x.
Find the restrictions. Values of x on the
denominators.
Write the domain of the rational expression. ¿
