Question

Solve the attached image 

The equation displayed is:

\[ \frac{10}{x^2 - 2x} + \frac{4}{x} = \frac{5}{x - 2} \]

This is a rational equation consisting of three fractional terms, each with polynomial expressions in their denominators. The goal is often to find the values of \( x \) that satisfy this equality. 

- The first term is the fraction \(\frac{10}{x^2 - 2x}\).
- The second term is \(\frac{4}{x}\).
- The right side of the equation is \(\frac{5}{x - 2}\).

To solve this equation, one approach is to find a common denominator and eliminate the fractions. Consider the restrictions on \( x \) to avoid division by zero.
