Solution

The correct option is C: 2.2

The given equation is

x25x+6x27x+12=x2x6x2+7x+10

x23x2x+6x24x3x+12=x23x+2x6x2+5x+2x+10

x(x3)2(x3)x(x4)3(x4)=x(x3)+2(x3)x(x+5)+2(x+5)

(x3)(x2)(x3)(x4)=(x3)(x+2)(x+5)(x+2)

x2x4=x3x+5

[cancelling same polynomial from numerator and denomintor]


(x2)(x+5)=(x4)(x3)

x2+5x2x10=x23x4x+12

x2+3x10=x27x+12

10x=22

x=2.2
