1. Find roots of the equation (5x-18)/(x+2) = (2x-6)/(x-1)
(5x-18)/(x+2) = (2x-6)/(x-1)
=> (5x-18)*(x-1) = (2x-6)*(x+2)
=> 5x^2-23x+18 = 2x^2-2x-12
=> 3x^2-21x+30 = 0
=> (3x^2-21x+30) = 0
=> 3x^2-21x+30 = 0
=> 3(x^2-7x+10) = 0
=> 3(x^2-2x-5x+10) = 0
=> 3(x(x-2)+(-5)(x-2)) = 0
=> 3(x-5)(x-2) = 0
=> (x-5) = 0" or "(x-2) = 0
=> x = 5" or "x = 2
