1. Problem Description

Solve the fractional equation 2x+2x2=5\frac{2x + 2}{x - 2} = 5. We need to check the solution in the original equation and, if there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.

2. Solution Steps

The equation is 2x+2x2=5\frac{2x + 2}{x - 2} = 5.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by (x2)(x-2) to eliminate the fraction:
2x+2=5(x2)2x + 2 = 5(x - 2)
2x+2=5x102x + 2 = 5x - 10
Next, we subtract 2x2x from both sides:
2=3x102 = 3x - 10
Then, add 10 to both sides:
12=3x12 = 3x
Finally, divide both sides by 3:
x=123=4x = \frac{12}{3} = 4
Now we check the solution x=4x = 4 in the original equation:
2(4)+242=8+22=102=5\frac{2(4) + 2}{4 - 2} = \frac{8 + 2}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5
Since this is true, the solution is x=4x=4.
