Given, .
By cross multiplication we get,
⇒ (x - 1)(3x - 7) = (2x - 5)(x + 1)
⇒ 3x2 - 7x - 3x + 7 = 2x2 + 2x - 5x - 5
⇒ 3x2 - 10x + 7 = 2x2 - 3x - 5
⇒ 3x2 - 2x2 - 10x + 3x + 7 + 5 = 0
⇒ x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
⇒ x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4) = 0
⇒ (x - 4)(x - 3) = 0
⇒ x - 4 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = 4 or x = 3.
Hence, roots of the given equations are 3, 4.
