Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is [tex]\frac{2}{x-3}=\frac{5}{x}[/tex]
The denominator is never equal to zero.
Therefore [tex]x-3\ne0[/tex] or [tex]x\ne 0[/tex]
[tex]x\ne3[/tex] or [tex]x\ne 0[/tex]
Let us now cross multiply to get:
[tex]2x=5(x-3)[/tex]
Expand to get:
[tex]2x=5x-15[/tex]
Group similar terms to get:
[tex]5x-2x=15[/tex]
[tex]3x=15[/tex]
[tex]x=5[/tex]
