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]
