1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the fractional equation 2x+2x2=5\frac{2x+2}{x-2} = 5.

2. Solution Steps

To solve the equation 2x+2x2=5\frac{2x+2}{x-2} = 5, we first multiply both sides by (x2)(x-2) to eliminate the fraction.
2x+2=5(x2)2x + 2 = 5(x-2)
Expand the right side:
2x+2=5x102x + 2 = 5x - 10
Subtract 2x2x from both sides:
2=3x102 = 3x - 10
Add 1010 to both sides:
12=3x12 = 3x
Divide both sides by 33:
x=123x = \frac{12}{3}
x=4x = 4
Now we check the solution by substituting x=4x=4 into 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 the left side equals the right side, x=4x=4 is the solution.

3. Final Answer

The final answer is x=4x=4.
