The solution for the equation 7/x - 3/x = 10/x² is x = 2.5

How to solve this equation?

We have the equation:

7/x - 3/x = 10/x²

First, in the left side we have a common denominator, then we can write:

(7 - 3)/x = 10/x²

4/x = 10/x²

Now we can multiply both sides by x², then we will get:

x²*4/x = 10/x²

4x = 10

Now solve this for x, we will get:

x = 10/4

x = 5/2

x =2.5
