Answer

$x=-17/5$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{4x}{(x^2+x-30)}+\frac{2}{(x-5)}=\frac{1}{(x+6)}$ $((x-5)(x+6))*(\frac{4x}{(x^2+x-30)}+\frac{2}{(x-5)})=((x-5)(x+6))*\frac{1}{(x+6)}$ $((x-5)(x+6))*(\frac{4x}{(x-5)(x+6)}+\frac{2}{(x-5)})=((x-5)(x+6))*\frac{1}{(x+6)}$ $(\frac{4x*(x-5)(x+6)}{(x-5)(x+6)}+\frac{2*(x-5)(x+6)}{(x-5)})=\frac{(x-5)(x+6)}{(x+6)}$ $4x+2*(x+6)=(x-5)$ $4x+2x+12=x-5$ $6x+12=x-5$ $5x+12=-5$ $5x+17=0$ $5x=-17$ $5x/5=-17/5$ $x=-17/5$
