6/(x-8)=2/(x+6)
times both sides by (x-8)(x+6)
6(x+6)=2(x-8)
distribute
6x+36=2x-16
minus 2x both sides
4x+36=-16
miinus 36 both sides
4x=-52
divide both sides by 4
x=-13

Kirk multiplied by 5.

-.25x • 4 = -1x

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5x-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

=> $\frac{x-1}{5(x-1)^2}$

=> $\frac{x-1}{5(x-1)(x-1)}$

<u><em>Cancelling (x-1)</em></u>

=> $\frac{1}{5(x-1)}$

=> $\frac{1}{5x-5}$
