1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to simplify the expression x75\frac{x}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}} by rationalizing the denominator.

2. Solution Steps

To rationalize the denominator, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of 75\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5} is 7+5\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}.
x75=x757+57+5\frac{x}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}}
Now we multiply the numerators and denominators:
x(7+5)(75)(7+5)\frac{x(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})}{(\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})}
Using the difference of squares formula (ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2, we have:
(75)(7+5)=(7)2(5)2=75=2(\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}) = (\sqrt{7})^2 - (\sqrt{5})^2 = 7 - 5 = 2
So the expression becomes:
x(7+5)2\frac{x(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})}{2}

3. Final Answer

x(7+5)2\frac{x(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5})}{2}
