Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The sum of all real values of $x$ for which $\frac{3 x^{2}-9 x+17}{x^{2}+3 x+10}=\frac{5 x^{2}-7 x+19}{3 x^{2}+5 x+12}$ is equal to __________.

Answer (integer) 6

Solution

<p>$${{3{x^2} - 9x + 17} \over {{x^2} + 3x + 10}} = {{5{x^2} - 7x + 19} \over {3{x^2} + 5x + 12}}$$</p> <p>$$ \Rightarrow {{3{x^2} - 9x + 17} \over {5{x^2} - 7x + 19}} = {{{x^2} + 3x + 10} \over {3{x^2} + 5x + 12}}$$</p> <p>$${{ - 2{x^2} - 2x - 2} \over {5{x^2} - 7x + 19}} = {{ - 2{x^2} - 2x - 2} \over {3{x^2} + 5x + 12}}$$</p> <p>Either ${x^2} + x + 1 = 0$ or No real roots</p> <p>$\Rightarrow 5{x^2} - 7x + 19 = 3{x^2} + 5x + 12$</p> <p>$2{x^2} - 12x + 7 = 0$</p> <p>sum of roots = 6</p>
