1. Problem Description

We need to solve the equation 2xx5=4+10x5\frac{2x}{x-5} = 4 + \frac{10}{x-5} for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, we multiply both sides of the equation by (x5)(x-5) to eliminate the denominators.
(x5)2xx5=(x5)(4+10x5)(x-5) \cdot \frac{2x}{x-5} = (x-5) \cdot (4 + \frac{10}{x-5})
2x=4(x5)+102x = 4(x-5) + 10
2x=4x20+102x = 4x - 20 + 10
2x=4x102x = 4x - 10
Now, we isolate the xx terms.
2x4x=102x - 4x = -10
2x=10-2x = -10
Divide both sides by 2-2.
x=102x = \frac{-10}{-2}
x=5x = 5
However, we must check if x=5x=5 is a valid solution because we multiplied by x5x-5, which is equal to zero when x=5x=5. Substituting x=5x=5 into the original equation, we get:
2(5)55=4+1055\frac{2(5)}{5-5} = 4 + \frac{10}{5-5}
100=4+100\frac{10}{0} = 4 + \frac{10}{0}
Since we have division by zero, x=5x=5 is not a valid solution. Therefore, there is no solution.
