$x=-2+-sqrt29$

$50/x+2=2x+10$

First, you would exclude the solution $x=0$ and then multiply all the terms by x:

$x!=0$ and $50+2x=2x^2+10x$

Then get it in the standard form and solve it by the quadratic formula:

$2x^2+8x-50=0$ or, dividing all the terms by 2:

$x^2+4x-25=0$

$x=-2+-sqrt(4+25)$ (simplified formula $x=-b/2+-sqrt((b/2)^2-c)$ )

$x=-2+-sqrt29$
