Is this a homework question? Homework questions need to be posted in the Homework & Coursework sections.

If the last image were correct, you could just solve it with the nominator equivalent to zero, and even if it weren't, you could still multiply through by the denominator leaving the nominator less than or equal to 0, right? Assuming what I said is correct, then it shouldn't be too difficult to find the x values.
