Question

Y=(8)/(3-x) solve for x. The 8 is over 3-x, it is a fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -(8 - 3 y)/y

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

y = 8/(3 - x)

y = 8/(3 - x) is equivalent to 8/(3 - x) = y:

8/(3 - x) = y

Take the reciprocal of both sides:

(3 - x)/8 = 1/y

Multiply both sides by 8:

3 - x = 8/y

Subtract 3 from both sides:

-x = (8 - 3 y)/y

Multiply both sides by -1:

Answer:  x = -(8 - 3 y)/y

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{x=3-\frac{8}{y}}$

$y=\frac{8}{3-x}$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $(3-x)$. $y(3-x)=8$

Divide both sides by $y$. $3-x=\frac{8}{y}$

Subtract $3$ from both sides. $-x=\frac{8}{y}-3$

Multiply both sides by $-1$, making everything opposite. $\boxed{x=3-\frac{8}{y}}$
