\( \frac{x(x+1)}{(x-1)(x+1)} - \frac{5(x-1)}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{2}{x^2-1} \)
\( \frac{x^2+x}{x^2-1} - \frac{5x-5}{x^2-1} = \frac{2}{x^2-1} \)
\( \frac{(x^2+x) - (5x-5)}{x^2-1} = \frac{2}{x^2-1} \)
\( \frac{x^2 + x - 5x + 5}{x^2-1} = \frac{2}{x^2-1} \)
\( \frac{x^2 - 4x + 5}{x^2-1} = \frac{2}{x^2-1} \)
\( x^2 - 4x + 5 = 2 \)
\( x^2 - 4x + 5 - 2 = 0 \)
\( x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0 \)
\[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (-4)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 = 16 - 12 = 4 \]
\[ x_1 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{D}}{2a} = \frac{4 + \sqrt{4}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{4 + 2}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \]
\[ x_2 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{D}}{2a} = \frac{4 - \sqrt{4}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{4 - 2}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \]
Ответ: x = 3.
