First, we'll impose the constraints of existence of the
fractions. All denominators have to be different from zero, for the fractions to
exist.
x + 5 different from 0 => x different from
-5
x - 5 different from 0 => x different from
5
The solutions of the equation can have any real value,
except the values {-5 ; 5}.
We'll solve the
equation:
2x(x-5) - x(x+5) =
50
2x^2 - 10x - x^2 - 5x =
50
We'll combine like
terms:
x^2 - 15x - 50 =
0
We'll apply quadratic
formula:
x1 = [15+sqrt(225 -
200)]/2
x1 = (15 + 5)/2
x1 =
10
x2 = (15-5)/2
x2 =
5
Since x2 = 5 is an exceted value, we'll reject this
solution.
The equation will have only one
real solution: x = 10.
