Add 1/(x-8) to both sides
cross multiply or multply both sides by (5-x)(x-8)
5(x-8)=5-x
distribute
5x-40=4-x
minus x from both sides
4x-40=4
add 40 to both sides
4x=44
divide by 4
x=11

Midpoints of segment with endpoints. (-4,2) and (2,4)
sashaice [31]

Well! See ,If the endpoints are (x1,y1) & (x2,y2) then mid-point is given by (x1+x2)/2,

(y1+y2)/2

Here in this question endpoints given for the line segment are (-4,2) , (2,4) so we have to find mid-point for x and y co-ordinates by applying above rule.

So, the mid-point we get is (-4+2)/2 , (2+4)/2.

i.e. (-1,3) which lies in 2nd Co-ordinate!

Hope it helps!!
