To simplify the equation, let's start by canceling out the common factors in the numerators and denominators:
132(x+5)/(x-5)(x+5) - 132(x-5)/(x-5)(x+5) = 5(x-5)(x+5)/(x-5)(x+5)
Canceling out the common factors gives us:
132/(x-5) - 132/(x+5) = 5
Now, let's find a common denominator:
The common denominator is (x-5)(x+5).
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by (x+5), and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by (x-5), we get:
132(x+5)(x+5) - 132(x-5)(x-5) = 5(x-5)(x+5)
Expanding and simplifying the equation further:
132(x^2 + 10x + 25) - 132(x^2 - 10x + 25) = 5(x^2 - 25)
132x^2 + 1320x + 3300 - 132x^2 + 1320x - 3300 = 5x^2 - 125
Combining like terms:
2640x = 5x^2 - 125
Bringing all the terms to one side:
5x^2 - 2640x - 125 = 0
Now we have a quadratic equation.
To solve for x, you can use the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)
In this case, a = 5, b = -2640, and c = -125.
Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, you can find the solutions for x.
