how to solve this

Question

x^2 -10x-25/10x-25 = 16/9
 

Answer 1

Combine like terms and set the equation equal to zero. The -10x and -25/10x can combine to -25/2x and the 16/9 can be subtracted from both sides. After doing this, the equation becomes x^2-25/2x-241/9=0. Using the quadratic formula we get the solutions 25/4+-(sqrt(9481)/12). Hope this helped!
