To simplify the expression, we first need to factor the expressions in the denominator:
x^2 - x - 2 = (x - 2)(x + 1)
Now, we can rewrite the given expression with the common denominator:
(x^2 + 14)/(x^2 - x - 2) + 10/(x + 1) = 3x/(x - 2)=> (x^2 + 14) / ((x - 2)(x + 1)) + 10/(x + 1) = 3x/(x - 2)
Next, we multiply through by the common denominator (x - 2)(x + 1) to clear the fractions:
(x^2 + 14) + 10(x - 2) = 3x(x + 1)=> x^2 + 14 + 10x - 20 = 3x^2 + 3x=> x^2 + 14 + 10x - 20 = 3x^2 + 3x=> x^2 + 10x - 6 = 3x^2 + 3x
Now, we combine like terms and get all terms on one side of the equation:
0 = 2x^2 + 3x - 20
Next, we set the quadratic equation to zero and factor:
2x^2 + 3x - 20 = 0=> (2x - 5)(x + 4) = 0
Solving for x, we get two possible solutions:
2x - 5 = 0 => 2x = 5 => x = 5/2x + 4 = 0 => x = -4
Therefore, the solutions to the given equation are x = 5/2 and x = -4.
