Question
Determine the restrictions on $x$.$$\frac{2}{x+1}-\frac{5}{x-7}=\frac{2}{3}$$
Step 1
We notice that there are variables in the denominator of the fractions. We know that division by zero is undefined, so we need to find the values of $x$ that would make the denominator zero. These values will be the restrictions on $x$. Show more…
