Open in App

Solution

Given, $\frac{1}{x + 1} + \frac{3}{5 x + 1} = \frac{5}{x + 4} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{5}{x + 4} = \frac{- 3}{5 x + 1} \Rightarrow \frac{(x + 4) - 5 (x + 1)}{(x + 1) (x + 4)} = \frac{- 3}{5 x + 1} \Rightarrow \frac{x + 4 - 5 x - 5}{x^{2} + 5 x + 4} = \frac{- 3}{5 x + 1} \frac{(- 4 x - 1)}{x^{2} + 5 x + 4} = \frac{- 3}{5 x + 1} \Rightarrow (4 x + 1) (5 x + 1) = 3 (x^{2} + 5 x + 4) \Rightarrow 20 x^{2} + 4 x + 5 x + 1 = 3 x^{2} + 15 x + 12 \Rightarrow 17 x^{2} - 6 x - 11 = 0 \Rightarrow 17 x^{2} - 17 x + 11 x - 11 = 0 \Rightarrow 17 x (x - 1) + 11 (x - 1) = 0 \Rightarrow (x - 1) (17 x + 11) = 0 \Rightarrow E i t h e r x = 1 o r x = \frac{- 11}{17}$
