The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 5x - \frac{35}{x} = 18 \) where \( x \neq 0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fraction Multiply both sides of the equation by \( x \) (since \( x \neq 0 \)): \[ 5x^2 - 35 = 18x \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 5x^2 - 18x - 35 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Identify coefficients In the quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), we identify: - \( a = 5 \) - \( b = -18 \) - \( c = -35 \) ### Step 4: Apply the quadratic formula The quadratic formula is given by: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Substituting the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ x = \frac{-(-18) \pm \sqrt{(-18)^2 - 4 \cdot 5 \cdot (-35)}}{2 \cdot 5} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression Calculating \( b^2 - 4ac \): \[ (-18)^2 = 324 \] \[ 4 \cdot 5 \cdot (-35) = -700 \quad \text{(note that this is a negative term)} \] Thus, \[ b^2 - 4ac = 324 + 700 = 1024 \] ### Step 6: Substitute back into the formula Now substituting back into the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{1024}}{10} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the square root Since \( \sqrt{1024} = 32 \): \[ x = \frac{18 \pm 32}{10} \] ### Step 8: Solve for the two possible values of \( x \) Calculating the two cases: 1. \( x = \frac{18 + 32}{10} = \frac{50}{10} = 5 \) 2. \( x = \frac{18 - 32}{10} = \frac{-14}{10} = -\frac{7}{5} \) ### Final Solutions Thus, the solutions for the equation are: \[ x = 5 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{7}{5} \] ---
