b) \(\dfrac{1}{x^2+9x+20}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+11x+30}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+13x+42}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x^2+4x+5x+20}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+5x+6x+30}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+6x+7x+42}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+4\right)+5\left(x+4\right)}+\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+5\right)+6\left(x+5\right)}+\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+6\right)+7\left(x+6\right)}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+6\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+6\right)\left(x+7\right)}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x+4}-\dfrac{1}{x+5}+\dfrac{1}{x+5}-\dfrac{1}{x+6}+\dfrac{1}{x+6}-\dfrac{1}{x+7}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x+4}-\dfrac{1}{x+7}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{x+7}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}-\dfrac{x+4}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{3}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)=54\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2+11x+28-54=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2-2x+13x-26=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x-2\right)+13\left(x-2\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-2\right)\left(x+13\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\) x - 2 = 0 hoặc x + 13 = 0
\(\Leftrightarrow\) x = 2 hoặc x = -13
Vậy x = 2 hoặc x = -13.
